IMPORTANT NOTE

• Use a ¼-inch TRS plug for

balanced sends/inserts.

• Use a ¼-inch TS plug for

unbalanced sends/inserts.

• Mixing balanced and unbal-

anced connections may result
in a 6 dB loss of gain.

Tests performed using an Audio Precision

System One model 322 or equal.

*Below approximately 200 Hz the feedback filters
become slightly wider to increase the feedback and
rumble capture speed at these low frequencies.

• Mixing balanced and unbal-

anced connections may result
in a 6 dB loss of gain.
