G90 BNC terminators?

Greetings,

Received my new G90 system today. So far, I am very happy with it.

In the box were a pair of BNC 50ohm terminators. However, unless I'm completely blind, I did not see anything in the documentation about what these are intended for. There are two possibilities: cap off the unused antenna ports (e.g., the rear ones when using front-mounted antennas) or cap off the antenna relay ports (used to cascade multiple G90s).

My assumption is that these are intended to cap off the antenna relay ports, but I'd like confirmation on that. Can anyone from Line 6 please chime in on this?

Also, is it possible to order a spare TBP12 transmitter without the entire G90 kit?

Thanks
 
An additional question about the G90: are the main outputs considered instrument level, or line level?

I ask because I am also thinking about getting a POD X3 Pro. The X3 only has line level inputs on the rear, the instrument inputs are on the front. If I ran a 1/4" cable from the main out of the G90 to one of the two instrument inputs on the X3, is it going to be of proper level?

Or is the XLR output on the G90 line level while the 1/4" is instrument level and I'd need to use an XLR to 1/4" cable to connect it to the X3 Pro? In which case, are the line level inputs on the rear of the X3 TRS or just TS?

Thanks
 
They are Termination plugs. They do not need to be used unless you switch in the antenna coupling and connect multiple receivers through the antenna pass throughs. You can store them on the antenna out jacks ... just so you don't lose them.
