Both XLR and &frac14; inch input go through the same preamp but they see a little different conditioning before they get there. The XLR connects to a is balanced low impedance input stage with a lot of gain. The &frac14; inch input is unbalanced, has about 20 dB less overall gain but a very high input impedance.
