disconnected from electrical outlets.
One balanced and one single-ended (unbalanced) connector

Ground switch: A small toggle switch selects the grounding
appropriate for either the balanced (XLR) or single-ended
(RCA) input connector(s). Make sure the toggle switch is
set all the way to the position closest to the connector you

changes the grounding to suit the selected connector.
