Audio Connection Notes
• Important: When plugging into a rear panel combo jack input, the input source
jack (either XLR or ¼” phone) must be manually selected with the top panel
INPUT button when in PREAMP Mode. Select MIC when connecting XLR plugs,
and LINE when connecting ¼" phone plugs. See Controls Overview for details.
• When an instrument is plugged into the front panel Hi-Z jack, channel 1
automatically switches to the Hi-Z input. To use a MIC or LINE input with channel
1, the Hi-Z instrument jack must be disconnected.
• The main outputs are line level. Connect the main outputs to the line level inputs
of powered monitors or an amplifier+speaker system. Balanced TRS or unbalanced
TS cables with ¼" plugs may be used.
• In the illustration above, the microphone is plugged into input 2 so the mic
(channel 2) can be used at the same time as the Hi-Z instrument (channel 1).
• For optimum sonic performance, always use high-quality shielded audio cables.
