AINPUT connectors A/B

INPUT A connectors are balanced XLR-3-31-type connectors that accept line-level and

microphone signals. Each of the phantom [+48V] switches on the rear panel turns on or off

the +48V phantom power feed to the corresponding input. INPUT B connectors are bal-

anced TRS phone-type connectors that accept line-level and microphone signals. The nom-

inal signal level of both types of connectors ranges from –60 dB to +4 dB. Phantom power

is not supplied to these connectors.

If you connect cables to INPUT A and INPUT B connectors of the same number, only the

signal from INPUT B is effective.

BINPUT connectors 13–16

These balanced TRS phone-type connectors accept line-level signals. The nominal signal

level ranges from –26 dB to +4 dB. INPUT 15 & 16 connectors are available only when the

AD 15/16 button is turned off (page 15).

CINSERT I/O connectors

These unbalanced TRS phone-type connectors are used for channel insert ins and outs. Use

a split cable to insert an external effects processor to AD input channels.
