inputs
Type: transformer balanced, compatible with
balanced or unbalanced sources
Impedance: 10 k ohms, nominal
Nominal Level: +4 dBu
IFB Output Circuits: 4
Type: DC power with two channels of unbalanced
audio
Connections: common on pin 1, DC (+30 V
nominal) modulated with channel 1 audio (–10 dBu
nominal) on pin 2, and channel 2 audio (–10 dBu
nominal) on pin 3
Maximum Audio Output Level:
Pin 2: +9 dBu with +23 dBu on audio input
Pin 3: +14 dBu with +28 dBu on audio input
DC Current Output: 200 milliamperes maximum
Monitor Section – Headphone Output:
Type: 2-channel (stereo), drives headphones by
way of 100 ohm series resistors
