noise ratio and should only be used when the input is
being overdriven with the Input dB (gain) switch at its
minimum setting.
5.7 Stereo Line In - Stereo Line Out
The stereo line inputs on RCA and 3.5mm con-
nectors have a nominal operating level of -10dBu to match
most consumer level audio products. The stereo line out-
puts are -10dBu "pre-master", so they are not affected by
the settings of the output controls.
5.8 Mono Transformer Balanced Output
The mono transformer output uses a male XLR
type connector and provides total isolation for 600 ohm
lines. Pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is (+), and pin 3 is (-). This
output is controlled by the Mono level, with a nominal
operating level of +4dBu.
Note: The transformer-balanced output is de-
signed to drive up to +24dBu into a 600 ohm load. Be-
cause of the nature of an output transformer, the output
level increases as the impedance of the terminating load
becomes higher than 600 ohms. Whereas a "direct-
coupled" output stage like that of the stereo outputs will
not change as the load changes, any transformer used in
an audio path is affected by its termination impedance.
Since line level inputs on audio devices are typically
10K
or higher, expect a slight increase (2.5dB) in out-
put level when driving high impedance inputs with the
mono transformer output. The output meters will reflect
the levels present on the stereo outputs, regardless of the
load on the transformer output.
5.9 Stereo Outputs
The Stereo Outputs are controlled by the left and
right master. They are 1/4" pseudo-balanced TRS jacks
with a nominal operating level of +4dBu into any load.
Two-conductor (twisted pair) shielded cable is
best for all XLR type connections. Belden No. 8412, or its
equivalent, is an excellent cable due to its heavy con-
struction. This type of cable should be used for all por-
table applications. Snake cables containing multiple
shielded pairs must be handled very carefully because the
leads tend to be fragile, and a broken conductor is diffi-
cult to repair.
If low level and high level lines (e.g., microphones
and mixer line outputs), or if either of these lines and
speaker cables are run parallel for long distances, crosstalk
may be significant. In fact, the crosstalk (signal leakage
between cables) can cause an electronic feedback loop,
oscillation, and possibly damage to the equipment. To
minimize crosstalk, physically separate low level (micro-
phone) cables from speaker cables by the greatest feasible
distance. At any point where cables meet, run low level
cables perpendicular to high level or speaker cables. If
low and high level or speaker cables must be run parallel
and in close proximity to one another, they should be
bundled separately.
5.1 Microphone Input
The microphone input is an active balanced type
with a nominal impedance of 1200 ohms. Its noise perfor-
mance is best with a 200 ohm microphone. The Mic input
connector is a standard 3-pin XLR female with the shield
on pin 1, the (+) in-phase connection on pin 2, and the (-)
out-of-phase connection on pin 3.
5.2 Input Pad
The Pad is a 20dB attenuation switch on the rear
panel for use with each XLR microphone input. It should
normally be left in the "out" position for best signal to
