INPUT CONNECTIONS: 

 

6. 

LINE IN (SEE FIGURE 2): 

 

Connect line level audio source (i.e. MIC/LINE mixer) to the LINE IN phono jack.  For balanced line level source, connect to 600 OHM terminal 
block.  

Note

:  The 600 OHM from the terminal block is disconnected when a phone plug is inserted in the LINE IN phono jack. 

 

7. 

BOOSTER OUT (SEE FIGURE 2): 

 

The BOOSTER OUT signal allows for cascading amplifiers.  The BOOSTER OUT is the LINE IN signal buffered and available at the BOOSTER 
OUT phono jack.
