W ithin the Neutrik® Combojack there is a ¼"(6.3mm) phone jack, which is wired in parallel with the
XLR.

A better method for using unbalanced sources is shown in figure
balanced lines, but pin 3 is connected to the shield at the source end of the cable. The hum and noise
rejection for the cable is equivalent to that of a balanced line. To minimize hum in the audio signal, us
balanced inputs whenever possible.
Figure 7. Unbalanced line connection
For two-channel (stereo) operation, use both channels A and B. For tandem stereo or bridged mono
operation, use only one of the inputs. See

The input impedance is high enough (20 kohms balanced) to
allow "daisy-chaining", or multiple parallel input connections.
The headroom of the input circuits is also high enough to accep
the maximum output level from virtually any low-level signal
source. Balanced signals are less sensitive to AC hum and radio
interference. The source impedance should be less than 1 kohms
to avoid high frequency loss in long cables.
T o daisy chain amplifiers, use the screw-terminal (Phoenix
connector), labeled Link, provided on each channel. It is
connected in parallel with the Neutrik® Combo jack on ea
input.
