The line level signals present on the RCA and XLR connectors, are internally mixed
together. A balanced signal on the XLR’s will however not be available on the
unbalanced RCA’s and vice versa.
Tips for trouble-free use: Always respect the basic power on sequence rules valid
for most audio applications. Amplifiers and/or powered speakers such as this
product will be powered on only after all the other devices in the audio chain have
been powered up! Always power off amplifiers and/or powered speakers first and
do not leave them powered on unnecessary!
1 = GND (audio ground)
2 = hot (+ line level signal, in phase)
3 = cold (- line level signal, opposite phase)
For unbalanced signals on XLR: pin 1 must be connected to pin 3 and becomes the
ground for the unbalanced signal. Pin 2 is the positive signal pin.
Alternatively, you can use the dedicated unbalanced RCA input.
Balanced XLR connectors:
Male (link) Female (line in)
