ANALOG INPUTS  The 901 provides both balanced and unbalanced inputs.  Input 
connections are made using the female XLR connector on the rear panel. These 
connectors are wired with pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1 ground.  The unbalanced 
phono type jacks are wired in parallel with pin 2 of the XLR balanced jacks.  Connecting 
unbalanced and balanced signals simultaneously is not recommended.
