A
INPUT 1 jacks
These balanced XLR/phone jacks connect a micro-
phone, mixer, or electronic musical instrument, etc. Set
the MIC/LINE switch (

) depending on the level of
the input signal.
XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268
standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold
(–).
NOTE:
You may use either the XLR or the phone jack, but not
both types simultaneously. Please connect to only one
type of jack on the channel.
B
MIC/LINE switch
Set this switch to MIC or LINE for INPUT 1 jacks,
depending on the level of the input signal. For low-level
signals (such as microphones), set the switch to the MIC
( ) position. For high-level signals (such as electronic
musical instruments and audio equipment), set the
switch to the LINE ( ) position.
C
INPUT 2/3 jacks
These unbalanced phone/RCA pin jacks connect an
electronic musical instrument or audio equipment, etc.
NOTE:
You may use either the phone or RCA pin jacks, but not
