MODE SWITCHES

The MODE switches allow the PTX-3 to accommodate a variety of
input source levels by changing the input sensitivity and the pin
functions of the input XLR jack. Marked on the rear panel are the most
common settings. Each setting is detailed below. Switches 1 and 2
adjust the XLR pin functions while switches 3 and 4 adjust the input
sensitivity.
