HOT TIP!
The signal fed to these inputs should normally be a mix-minus or those monitoring from the far
end will hear a delayed version of their own audio coming back to them (i.e. an echo).
See Section 10.3 for details on dealing with delay and mix-minus.

CURIOSITY NOTE!
The Telos Zephyr Xstream uses the more common pin-outs for three pin XLR inputs & outputs.
You can easily remember the correct signals when wiring connectors using the phrase
“George Washington Bridge.” Pin 1 = G = Ground, Pin 2 = W = “+” = White (typical color
in mic cable, if there is no white there will be a red conductor), and Pin 3 = B = “-” = Black.
