Audio input ports

You can connect external audio devices like mixers (and microphones for Pearl) directly to the dedicated audio input ports on Pearl Mini. Each Pearl model has a unique set of audio input ports.

Pearl

  • Two XLR/TRS combo jacks (Mic/Line 1 and Mic/Line 2). These two ports are configured as a left/right stereo pair by default.
    • XLR mic-level inputs (balanced)
    • TRS 1/4" line-level inputs, + 4.0 dBu (balanced/unbalanced)
  • One 3.5 mm stereo mic-level for electret microphones
  • One RCA stereo pair consumer line-level input (-10 dBV)

The two XLR/TRS combo jacks on Pearl are configured as a stereo pair by default. You can configure the two combo jacks as two separate mono audio inputs using the Admin panel . You can also enable or disable phantom power for the two XLR ports.

The RCA and 3.5 mm audio sources share the same resource and appear under the label RCA/3.5 mm Audio. You can assign one or both audio sources to the RCA/3.5 mm Audio input.
