    Inputs: The Athena comes with 4 switchable inputs (XLR1/XLR2/XLR3/RCA), and 1 volume controlled non-switchable input (XLR4). If you only have a single source, you may use XLR4 for purest sound quality.

    Output: All outputs are active simultaneously, can easily drive bi-amplification (and a pair of subwoofers) from the preamp.
