XLR Audio Input and Parallel Output

 

The DCM series includes both male and female 3 pin XLR connectors per channel. While the female is 
normally used as the input to the amplifier, both XLR’s are connected in parallel so either will work. 
 
The XLR’s inputs are transformer balanced and wired as: 
Pin 1: Shield. 
Pin 2: Hot, +, Positive 
Pin 3: Cold, -, Negative
