Mic Input Socket
Standard 3-Pin XLR socket wired as Pin 1=Chassis,
Pin 2=hot (+), Pin 3=Cold (-).

Line Input Jack Socket
Standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack socket for balanced or un-
balanced line level signals. Wired Tip=Hot(+),
Ring=cold (-), Sleeve=Chassis.
The Line input overrides the Mic input, so if you want to
hear something plugged in to the xlr socket, make sure
nothing is plugged into the Line input.

Standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack socket for unbalanced in-
sert send and return signals. Wired Tip=send,
Ring=return, Sleeve=Chassis. Nominal level is 0dBu. The
insert point is after the 100Hz filter and before the EQ.

Gain Control
This adjusts the gain of the input amplifier to match the
signal level of the input. The gain is varied from –6dB
(attenuation) to +63dB for signals plugged in to the xlr
socket (Mic Input) and –10dB to +26dB for signals
plugged into the Line input jack.

100Hz Hi-pass Filter
The Hi-pass filter is used for reducing pop noise
and rumble from microphone signals. It is a 2-
pole (12dB per octave) filter with a corner fre-
quency set at 100Hz.
The filter affects signals from both Mic XLR and
Line jack socket.
