Combo input jacks (INPUT 5–8)

These are analog audio signal input jacks with microphone

preamps. Since they can accommodate either XLR type or phone

type plugs, you can use the type of connector most suitable for

your equipment. You may connect either balanced or unbalanced

devices.

XLR type:

INPUT 5-6

-56–-6 dBu

INPUT 7-8

-50–+0 dBu

Phone type:

INPUT 5-8

-46–+4 dBu

*

INPUT 5–8 are fixed at low-impedance (Lo-Z) .

XLR input jacks 7 and 8 support high input levels of +16 dBu. You’ll have plenty of headroom even

when using microphones to record loud sources such as a bass drum.
Use the XLR jacks to connect microphones, and use the phone jacks to connect other devices.

The XLR type connection can provide 48 V phantom power, allowing you to connect condenser

microphones that require a phantom power supply. In this case, turn on phantom power switch on

(p. 36).

*

This device is equipped with balanced

(XLR/TRS) type input jacks . Wiring

diagrams for these jacks are shown on

the right . Make connections after first

checking the wiring diagrams of other
