003 & 003 Rack Getting Started Guide56
Analog Inputs
Mic Inputs 1–4
These are balanced, three-conductor XLR con-
nectors for microphone-level analog inputs.
Gain is controlled by the corresponding Input
Gain control (located on the top panel of 003,
and on the front panel of 003 Rack). The source
(Mic, Line, or DI) is chosen using the Mic/DI
switch.
DI Inputs 1–4
The DI (“Direct Inject” or “Direct Interface”) In-
puts are balanced connectors for guitars and
other instrument level sources that support
1/4-inch TS connections. Operating levels for
these inputs are fixed at +4 dBu.
Gain is controlled by the corresponding Input
Gain knob (located on the top panel of 003, and
on the front panel of 003 Rack). The source
(Mic, Line, or DI) is chosen using the Mic/DI
switch.
Phantom Power Switches
These switches apply 48V phantom power to
Mic Inputs 1–2 and Mic Inputs 3–4 channel
pairs, respectively. Enable these switches for mi-
crophones that require phantom power to oper-
ate.

(and Phantom Power switches)
The XLR connectors on Inputs 1–4 are
wired specifically to match the impedance
of microphones. Do not use these XLR con-
nectors for line inputs; use the 1/4-inch con-
nectors instead.

Power” on page 64.
