TRS jacks of analog input / output
The stereo ¼" TRS jacks of the analog inputs and outputs are wired according to international
standards:
Tip = + (hot)
Ring = – (cold)
Sleeve = GND
The servo balanced input and output circuitry allows to use monaural TS jacks (unbalanced)
with no loss in level. This is the same as when using a TRS-jack with ring connected to ground.
XLR jacks of analog inputs
The XLR jacks are wired according to international standards:
1 = GND (shield)
2 = + (hot)
3 = - (cold)
TRS Phones jack
The analog monitor output on
the front is accessible through
a stereo ¼" TRS jack. This
allows a direct connection of
headphones. In case the output
should operate as Line output,
an adapter TRS plug to RCA
phono plugs, or TRS plug to TS
plugs is required.
The pin assignment follows
international standards. The left
channel is connected to the tip,
the right channel to the ring of
the TRS jack/plug.
