Slide switch position toward rear panel:
Ground connected
Slide switch position toward pin header:
Ground disconnected
The ground lift allows you to isolate the ground con-
nection of the balanced input and signal ground of
the main unit.
If the CD player or DAC has only a two-pin mains
plug (without ground connection), you should use the
connected position.

Pin header for the pin
connector in the main
unit
The input modules have one pin fewer than the out-
put modules and can therefore only be mounted in in-
put slots.

Description
IN 8
is a line input module for XLR with a balanced input transformer. The ground con-
nection of the XLR input and the preamplifier can be isolated using a switch on the mod-
ule board.
Based on the transformer coupling, this module is the ideal connection between modern
USB DACs, music servers, etc.
