1. Boom Headphone Ou

t  XLR audio output for boom operator head phone monitoring. XLR

output allows use of cable with XLR connectors rather than one with ¼” connectors. Use a ¼”
adapter to connect to head phones. This way your spare XLR cable also serves as your spare
boom operator cable, and you only need carry a small spare ¼” adapter. NOTE: The single
head phone level control adjusts volume for both the boom head phone out and the front panel
head phone out.

This XLR connector is wired as follows:

Pin 1:

 Common ground

Pin 2:

Headphone left audio

Pin 3:

 Headphone right audio

2. XLR Outputs

 Two balanced line level audio outputs. Use switch located on the underside

panel of the unit to choose between mic and line level for both. When feeding unbalanced out
from these connectors, avoid grounding a signal pin.

3. Line Out

 Line level 3.5 mm (1/8”) unbalanced audio output jack. Use to feed audio to

cameras that only provide a 3.5 mm audio input jack.

4. Mic Out

 Microphone level 3.5 mm (1/8”) unbalanced audio output jack. Use to feed audio to

cameras that only provide a mic level 3.5 mm audio input jack.

5. Auxiliary In

 3.5 mm (1/8”) unbalanced audio input jack. Goes directly to internal mix bus.

6. Tape Rtn In

 3.5 mm (1/8”) unbalanced audio input jack for connection to video camera,

tape recorder or other audio device for monitoring purposes only.

7. Power on/off Switch
