    Input channel mic input the mic input accepts a male xlr connector and is designed to suit a wide range of balanced or unbalanced signals. Use pro- fessional dynamic, condenser, or ribbon microphones, because their low impedance helps to reduce background noise com- pared to low-cost high-impedance ...

    Setting the sens control to 10 gives approximate unity gain for the line input. Some sound equipment, including home consumer products, may operate at a lower level (i.E., -10 dbv) than professional equipment and, therefore, will require setting sens to a higher gain to reach the same output level. ...
