3. Inputs and Controls
1. [INPUT] Toggle switch selects between the analog (A) and digital (D) inputs.
2. [ANLG] XLR connector is designed to receive analog balanced line level audio signal from sources
such as preamplifiers, sound cards, monitor controllers and mixing consoles. Pin 1 is tied to chas-
sis ground. Pins 2 & 3 are fully floating differential inputs. Pin 3 must be referenced to ground for
single ended input signals. The analog signal is converted to 24bit/192kHz digital audio via a preci-
sion, ultra-high-fidelity analog to digital converter section inside the MiniMain12.
3. [AES3] XLR connector is designed to receive digital AES3 standard audio signal from sources such as
sound cards and digital audio workstations. The digital signal must be attenuated at the source
(“In The Box”). Non-attenutated digital audio will produce very high sound pressure levels that can
damage your ears and potentially the speakers.
4. [CHNL] Toggle switch selects between the left (L) or right (R) channel inside the AES3 data signal.
5. [LEVEL] Eight position rotary switch adjusts the level of both the Analog and Digital inputs in pre-
cise 1dB increments from +3dB to –6dB.
6. [SUB] Three position toggle switch adjusts the level of the subwoofers from 0dB to +2dB or –2dB.
7. [VOICE] 3.5mm stereo phone jack for connection to Voice Selector Switch. See Section 7 for Voice
Emulation setting details. The default setting with no switch connected is Flat.
8. [USB] The universal serial bus connector is for factory adjustments and calibrations. This connec-
tor is not an audio input.
