CONSUMER LEVEL VS PROFESSIONAL LEVEL
The purpose of the MB15b is to connect consumer level equip­ment to professional level equipment. An explanation of these are
addressed here.
Consumer level signals typically come from devices such as
camcorders, cassette decks, CD players, and home video play­ers. Professional level signals are associated with devices found
in recording studios and sound reinforcement systems like mixing
boards, signal processors, and their associated amplifi ers.

MB15b PROMATCH

The MB15b converts stereo consumer level signals
to professional line level signals - and vice versa.
It may also serve as a balanced inline level control
by patching the four RCA jacks together.
