Reference Manual
3.3.4 Input Connection
The balanced phone jack inputs have a nominal imped-
ance of 20 K ohms (10 K ohms with unbalanced wiring)
and will accept the line-level output of most devices.
Three-pin female XLR connectors are also available on
the optional
MT-XLR
accessory and balanced barrier
block connectors are available on the optional
MT-BB
accessory (see Section 8.2). Correct input wiring will
depend on two factors: (1) whether the input signals are
balanced or unbalanced, and (2) whether the signal
source floats or has a ground reference. Figures 3.7 and
3.8 provide examples of recommended connection
techniques for each type of signal source. The optional
MT-XLR
connector is shown.

The amplifier’s built-in ¼-inch input phone connectors
can be wired similarly for balanced or unbalanced, float-
ing or ground-referenced sources. The phone connec-
tors have a standard tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) configuration:
the tip is positive (+), ring is negative (–) and sleeve is
ground (see Figure 3.9). Wiring for different sources fol-
lows the XLR wiring guidelines shown in Figures 3.7 and
3.8.
When either of the input connector accessories is in-
stalled, the unused input connectors can be used as
“daisy chain” outputs to feed the input signal from one
amplifier to another.
Please follow the input wiring instructions in Section
3.3.2 and 3.3.3 if the amplifier will be used in either
Bridge-Mono or Parallel-Mono mode. Remember, do not
use the channel 2 input in either mono mode.
