*4.  This change can be made only if your amplifier has balanced inputs. 
*5.  This gain change applies in the typical case in which the amplifier has the same sensitivity/gain on both 
balanced and unbalanced input connections. Some amplifiers have half the sensitivity on the balanced 
inputs, in which case this connection change will result i n a +6 dB gain change. Please check the 
specifications of your amplifier.
