Hi Raimund!
Many thanks for your reply confirming that the input is unbalanced. This
was my understanding also but, as I said in my post, I contacted
Olympus support Europe and they stated that it was balanced (I can
forward the mail if required). It appears that not all their support
staff know what they're talking about!
Best regards
Max
