    The output’s impedance at 100Ω, allowing operation with virtually any load. Nominal operating level is +4dBu into 600Ω. If using 1/4” mono plugs, at the output, the 120A will be grounded to the load device. This can cause a ground loop. By using 1/4” balanced phone plugs, the grounds of both the 120A and the load can be isolat- ed to reduce hum.
