There are two line input modes:
1) a balanced bridging input, in which a large balanced pad is placed in
front of the microphone preamp, and the preamp is employed normally; this
is non-inverting with respect to the Ampex standard, and
2) an unbalanced bridging unput, in which the pad, transformer, and
preamp are bypassed; this is inverting with respect to the Ampex standard.
