A
INPUT A & B (BAL) connectors
AD Inputs 1 through 16 feature balanced XLR-3-31-type connectors and bal-
anced 1/4-inch phone jacks, both with a nominal input range of –60 dB to
+10 dB. Phantom powering (+48 V) is supplied to the XLR-type connectors, with
individual ON/OFF switches on each input. The phone jacks, which can also be
used with unbalanced phone plugs, have priority over the XLR-type connectors,
so when a phone plug is inserted, the XLR-type connector is disconnected. AD
Inputs 17–24 feature balanced 1/4-inch phone jacks. AD Inputs can be patched
individually to the Input Channels or Insert Ins. See “AD Input Section” on page
53 for more information.
B
INSERT I/O +4dB (UNBAL) connectors (AD 1–16)
These unbalanced 1/4-inch TRS phone jacks are used to insert external signal pro-
cessors, etc., into AD Inputs 1 through 16. They are wired: sleeve–ground,
ring–return, tip–send. The nominal signal level is +4 dB. Inserts can be turned on
and off individually by using the INSERT ON/OFF switches. See “AD Input Sec-
tion” on page 53 for more information.
