1. XLR INPUT: This jack accepts XLR input connections with either balanced or
unbalanced wiring. The signal of the XLR INPUT is summed together with the

simultaneously. Input specifications apply to both inputs. The input wiring of an
XLR connector should be as follows:
XLR PIN 1
Signal ground (Shield)
XLR PIN 2
Signal positive (+)
XLR PIN 3
Signal negative (–)
2. TRS INPUT: This jack accepts a TRS connector, either balanced or unbalanced
wiring. For balanced wiring, a three-conductor TRS plug is necessary. The input
wiring of a TRS connector should be as follows:
TRS TIP
