4 Setting Up and Connecting the Unit

The ARM-88 is designed for installation into a rack
(482 mm/ 19"), but is can also be placed as desired.
For rack installation, 1 RS (1 rack space = 44.45 mm)
is required.
Prior to making or changing any connections,
switch off the ARM-88 and the units to be connected.
1) Connect signal sources with line level (CD player,
mixer, tuner, etc.) to the inputs (12). Microphones
can only be connected via a preamplifier. All XLR
connections (11 and 12) are balanced; however, via
suitable adapters, they can also be used for unbal-
anced signals.
