CONSUMER LEVEL VS PROFESSIONAL LEVEL
The purpose of the MB15 is to connect consumer level equipment
to professional level equipment. An explanation of these are ad-
dressed here.
Consumer level signals typically come from devices such as
camcorders, cassette decks, CD players, and home video play-
ers. Professional level signals are associated with devices found
in recording studios and sound reinforcement systems like mixing
boards, signal processors, and their associated amplifiers.
