Electrical Characteristics

0 dBu = 0.775 Vrms, 0 dBV = 1 Vrms 
Output impedance of signal generator (Rs) = 150 Ω
Output load impedance = 10 kΩ(TRS phone output), 600 Ω(XLR output) 
Nominal fader position is 10dB lower than the maximum position. 
All faders are set to nominal position when dedicated in the below.

*1 Noise is measured with a A-Weighting filter.
*2 Crosstalk is measured with a 1 kHz band pass filter.
*3 Maximum voltage gain is measured under the condition that all faders and GAIN knobs are at maximum.

PAN/BAL knob is panned hard left or right. 

European Models
Inrush Current based on EN 55103-1:2009
4.5A (on initial switch-on)
3.5A (after a supply interruption of 5s)
