from the UNBALANCED OUTPUT is controlled by the rear panel VOLUME CONTROL (6).
(Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplier or mixing board
volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible
sound system damage. Also make sure that the phantom power on the input of
the mixer is turned OFF before making connection to the receiver.)
