Making Connections

Balanced/XLR Output

The Balanced Output (BAL L and BAL R) allows 

the MCD85 to be connected to a Balanced Input 

(typically a preamplifier). To use the XLR output, 

connect the BAL R to the right input of your 

preamplifier and BAL L to the preamplifier’s left 

input. 

Below is the Pin configuration for the XLR 

Balanced Input and Output Connectors on the 

MCD85.
