NOTES
* = Sensitivity is the lowest output level that will produce an output of +4dB (1.23V) or the nominal level when the RM800 is set to maximum gain (all faders and level controls set to maximum).
**= XLR and TRS connectors are balanced (tip=HOT, Ring=COLD, Sleeve=GND).
***= Insert phone jacks are unbalanced (Tip=out, Ring=in, Sleeve=GND).
Please note that TS = Tip-Sleeve which equates to unbalanced phone jacks.

**= Insert phone jacks are unbalanced (Tip=out, Ring=in, Sleeve=GND).
Please note that TS = Tip-Sleeve which equates to unbalanced phone jacks.  Also, contrary to what many RM800 users might think, the +4 group outs ARE NOT balanced connectors.
