MONO INPUT CHANNEL
1
Mic Input Socket
Standard 3-Pin XLR socket wired as Pin 1=Chassis, Pin 2=hot
(+), Pin 3=Cold (-).
2
Line Input Jack Socket
Standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack socket for balanced or unbalanced 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.
3
Insert Jack Socket
Standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack socket for unbalanced insert 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.
4
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 High Pass Filter
The Hi-pass filter is used for reducing pop noise and rum-
ble from microphone signals. It is a 2-pole (12dB per oc-
tave) filter with a corner frequency set at 100Hz.
The filter affects signals from both Mic XLR and Line jack
socket.
