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 head-

phones. 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 in-

ternational standards. The left

channel is connected to the tip,

the right channel to the ring of

the TRS jack/plug.
