XM610 Input and Output Connections
CHANNEL 1–6 MIC and LINE INPUTS
The XM610’s six input channels each have a LINE level, Hi-Z (High Impedance) input and a MIC level, Low-Z
(Low impedance) input. By using the PAD switches, you can connect a variety of signal sources from micro-
phones to line level devices such as synthesizers, drum machines and direct boxes. Both LINE and MIC inputs
are balanced, with MIC inputs compatible with microphones of output impedance 50-600 Ohms and LINE inputs
compatible with line level devices of 600 Ohms.
NOTE
: It is not possible to simultaneously use both the LINE and MIC inputs on the same channel. For each
channel, use only one
of the inputs as appropriate for the input source.

LINE - Line Level Input
Use these inputs to connect high impedance microphones, synthesizers and drum machines. The LINE
inputs have a nominal operating level of -40dBV through - 10dBV.
TRS phone jacks Connector pin-out - Sleeve: Ground, Tip: Hot (+), Ring: Cold (-)
MIC - Microphone Input
Use these inputs to connect Low Impedance microphones and low level signals from direct boxes. The MIC
inputs have a nominal operating level of –50dBV through -20dBV. The MIC inputs also feature +48V phan-
tom power, allowing you to use condenser microphones. The Phantom Power is switched on/off simultane-
ously for channels 1 through 6.
XLR Connector pin-out - Pin 1: Ground, Pin 2: Hot (+), Pin 3: Cold (-)
AUX 2 SEND - Effects Output
The AUX 2 SEND output is used to interface an external signal processor like a delay or reverb. The signal
present at the AUX 2 SEND output is sent from the EFFECTS bus, which is fed from the EFX send on the
input channels and the EFFECTS LEVEL send in the Master section.
EFX FOOTSWITCH - Footswitch Jack
With a foot switch connected to this jack, you can turn on and off the on-board digital effects by simply
pressing the switch with your foot.
AUX IN - Auxiliary Input
Used to connect monaural output devices such as external effects processors.
TAPE IN - Tape Input
Used to connect a stereo output device such as cassette recorder or CD player.
EXTERNAL INPUT JACKS (AUX IN/TAPE IN)
These are input jacks that allow the signal from an external device to be added to the MAIN output.
