Audio Connections
Input Connections
For each input channel there is a female XLR input connector. Even channel numbers are for
Analogue inputs only. Odd channel numbers are either for Analogue inputs (when in Analogue input
mode) or for AES3 input pairs (when in AES3 input mode).
The HOT, + or ‘in phase’ connection should be made to pin 2 of the XLR connector.
The COLD, -­‐ or ‘out of phase’ connection should be made to pin 3 of the XLR connector.
Pin 1 of the XLR connectors is internally connected to the chassis. The shield of the input cable
should always be connected Pin 1 of the XLR to ensure that EMC performance and regulations are
met.

Using unbalanced connections
Please note that the use of unbalanced connections is not recommended, however when connecting
the amplifier to an unbalanced audio source, the signal conductor should be connected to XLR pin2.
The ‘Cold’ conductor or cable screen should be connected to XLR pin 1 with a short connection made
between pin 1 and pin 3.
