Input Polarity
The XLR input connectors on the pm700
/
pm950 are shipped from the factory with pin 2 hot (+), as indicated on the rear panel.
The polarity of the balanced inputs can be reversed by changing four jumpers located on the Input Board. Cross-wire JP3 and JP4
to change the input polarity of CH 1 and cross-wire JP1 and JP2 to change CH2 (see Figure 8).
Clipping Eliminator Defeat
The clipping eliminator circuit can be activated by moving the switch located just inside the input panel to the up position (see
Figure 8). Moving the switch down will return the Clipping Eliminator to normal operation.
