Program and Recording

  • PGM (Program): main balanced output with female TRS 1/4” connectors (female plug).
  • REC (Recording): auxiliary unbalanced output with RCA connectors.

Balanced TRS to XLR male connection (per channel)

TRS (Plug)XLR (Cannon)
Ground = sleevePin 1 = Ground
Signal (+) = tipPin 2 = Signal (+)
Signal (-) = ringPin 3 = Signal (-)
To unbalance the PGM output, connect the (+) terminal, leaving the (-) terminal unconnected.
Never use mono plug (TS) connectors to connect these outputs.

Output Levels

  • Nominal level: +4 dBu when VU-meter indicates “0 VU”.
  • In unbalanced mode (using only + terminal): -2 dBu.
When connecting non-professional recording equipment, the level may be too high and cause saturation.
Use the device’s input level control.
If this is not sufficient, use a fixed attenuator (resistive divider) to reduce the output level.

PGM USB Send

The USB connection delivers the PGM or REC signal (according to the USB OUT switch position on Channel 5).
  • No additional installation required: the computer automatically recognizes the USB recording device.
  • The signal can be used for hard disk recording or Internet streaming (Webcasting).
