is on. Also, mute the Monitor/PA speakers when turning Phantom Power on or off.
Let’s now have a look an all the inputs and outputs on the EURORACK. Most of them are balanced.
Unbalanced equipment may be connected to balanced inputs/outputs. Either use mono 1/4" jacks or connect
ring and sleeve of TRS jacks (or leave pin 3 of XLR plugs unused).

Level to the XLR Main outputs (+4 dB) will be lowered to “mic level”, if you depress
route the lowered output signal directly to the Mic inputs of another console.
