Inputs 1-4
The input section of the 480 DriveRack™ offers four electronically balanced XLR connectors.
Inputs 3 and 4 offer Line/RTA switches that allow you to run a real time audio analyzer micro-
phone directly into the input of the 480 DriveRack™. The four XLR inputs of the 480
DriveRack™ also offer Pin 1 lift switches which lift the ground of the selected XLR input pair
when pressed.
WARNING - For proper operation of the RTA microphone, the RTA button must be depressed
and the ground /lift switch must be in the grounded position. When the RTA button on the back

grounded position. This will prevent the possibility of electrical shock.
