REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION
 ¼" INPUT connector. This ¼" tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) connector parallels the XLR connector described below. Tip is positive,
ring is negative and sleeve is shield. Tip-sleeve (TS) cables will often work if the cables are short (under 10 feet [3 meters]). See the

IMPORTANT NOTE
CHASSIS GROUNDING
If after hooking up your system it exhibits excessive hum or buzzing, there is an incompatibility in the grounding configuration
between units somewhere. Your mission, should you accept it, is to discover how your particular system wants to be grounded. Here
are some things to try:
1. Try combinations of lifting grounds on units that are supplied with ground lift switches or links.
2. If your equipment is in a rack, verify that all chassis are tied to a good earth ground, either through the line cord grounding pin or
the rack screws to another grounded chassis.
3. Units with outboard power supplies do NOT ground the chassis through their line cords. Make sure these units are grounded
either to another chassis which is earth grounded, or directly to the grounding screw on an AC outlet cover by means of a wire
connected to a screw on the chassis with a star washer to guarantee proper contact.
4. See the Sound System Interconnection RaneNote included with this manual.
