MindPrint-DTC TM
LINE IN A
BALANCED

1.2 Line Input

Connections:
On the rear panel, the DTC™ includes a SEND
and RETURN jack on each channel for inserting
external signal processors into the DTC™ signal
path. The connectors are stereo-style balanced
Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks, with the Tip hot (positive)
and the Ring cold (negative). The Sleeve is
connected to ground. When you insert an
unbalanced mono 1/4-inch plug, the RETURN
automatically switches to unbalanced
operating mode.
Operation:
LINE/INSTR GAIN: adjusts the preamplification
level of LINE IN, INSTRUMENT IN,
and DIGITAL IN.
Note: Ensure that the MIC IN button is
not pressed in.
1.3 Instrument Input
Connections:
A 1/4-inch mono input jack for connecting
instruments is located on the front panel of the
unit. When you insert a plug into this jack, the
Line input and the Digital input are automatically
switched off. The sensitivity of the Instrument
input was chosen so that electric guitars and bass
guitars could be connected directly.
Operation:
LINE/INSTR GAIN: adjusts the preamplification
level of LINE IN, INSTRUMENT IN,
and DIGITAL IN.
INSTRUMENT IN: becomes active the moment
you insert a plug into this jack, assuming that the
MIC IN switch is turned off.
INFO
The pin-outs of the XLR jack are in accordance with
to the international standard, IEC 268-12, whereby
Pin 1 is ground, Pin 2 is hot (positive) and Pin 3 is
cold (negative). If you are using an unbalanced
connection, Pins 1 and 3 are to be bridged. If you
have a stereo-style TRS plug, the tip carries the
positive signal and the ring the negative, while the
sleeve is connected to ground. If you insert an
unbalanced mono 1/4-inch plug, the input
automatically switches itself to unbalanced mode.
INFO
With an input impedance of 2.2 megohms, the
instrument input ensures that there will be no
damping of highs by magnetic pickups and no
damping of the lows by piezo-electric pickups.
