the devices in the rack using suitable cables.

outputs of those devices whose signals you want to connect to the rack.
Inputs and outputs are connected directly (pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 and
pin 3 to pin 3) so that phantom voltage can also pass unhindered. Therefore be
very careful to avoid the risk of phantom power from entering equipment that
could thereby be damaged.
