BALANCED INPUTS 1-3:
* Accepts right-channel and left-channel balanced signals from source equipment
with balanced outputs.
SINGLE-ENDED INPUTS 4-6:
* Accepts right-channel and left-channel (RCA) inputs from line-level source equipment
such as tuners, CD player, and SACD player.
BALANCED MAIN OUTPUTS:
* If your power amplifier is equipped with balanced inputs, it is generally best to use the
balanced outputs on your C 306. A balanced signal from preamplifier to power amplifier
will offer the highest possible performance with the best immunity from common-mode
noise, such as radio frequency interference (RFI). The balanced output signal is made
available by way of precision male XLR connectors (requiring female XLRs on the
preamplifier end of the interconnecting cable).
SINGLE-ENDED MAIN OUTPUTS:
* Use these jacks for connection to the power amplifiers.

The pin assignments of these XLR-type male outputs are:
The pin assignments of these XLR-type female input are:
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal - (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground
Pin 1: Signal ground
Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting)
Pin 3: Signal - (inverting)
Connector ground lug: chassis ground

Refer to your power amplifier's operating manual to verify that the pin
assignments of its input connectors correspond to the C 306. If not, wire
the cable so that the appropriate output pin connects to the equivalent
input pin.
Refer to the operating manuals of your balanced-output line-level sources
to verify that the pin assignments of their output connectors correspond to
the C 306. If not, wire the cable so that the appropriate output pin connects
to the equivalent input pin.
