2. CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION 2.1 INPUT CONNECTIONS Balanced XLR connection offers the highest transmission quality, particularly over long cable lengths, because it rejects noise and hum pickup. If using the XLR inputs, set the input switches to the 0 dB position if your preamplifier’s XLR outputs are at normal line level, or to the -6 dB position if your preamplifier’s XLR outputs are at 2x line level.
