    Functions 1. Mic Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for connecting low- impedance microphones. The input provides extremely low noise and low hum signal processing. When connecting a microphone make sure that the pin assignment is correct. Always make sure to read the manual of the microphone you want to connect. The XLR- inputs are not suitable for connecting line level signals like an additional mixing console, FX-unit, etc.
