Within the Neutrik® Combojack there is a ¼”(6.3mm) phone jack, which is wired in parallel with the
XLR.

The input impedance is high enough (20 kohms balanced) to
allow ”daisy-chaining”, or multiple parallel input connections.
The headroom of the input circuits is also high enough to
accept the maximum output level from virtually any low-level
signal source. Balanced signals are less sensitive to AC hum
and radio interference. The source impedance should be le
than 1 kohms to avoid high frequency loss in long cable

you leave one pin disconnected, you will lose 6 dB.
A better method for using unbalanced sources is sho
for balanced lines, but pin 3 is connected to the shield at the source. The hum and noise rejection for
the cable is equivalent to that for a balanced line. To minimize hum in the audio, use balanced inputs
whenever possible.

or two-channel (stereo) operation, use both channels A and B. For tandem stereo or bridged F
mono operation, use only one of the inputs. See operation modes
