XLR sockets analog input and output
The XLR connectors of the analog inputs and outputs are wired according to international stan-
dards:
1 = GND (shield)
2 = + (hot)
3 = - (cold)
The servo balanced input and output circuitry allows to use unbalanced connections with no
loss in level. For this to work, pins 3 (-) and 1 (GND) have to be connected inside the XLR con-
nector.
The output circuitry does not operate in a servo-balanced way. When connecting unbalanced
devices make sure that pin 3 of the XLR output stays unconnected.
TRS jacks analog input
The stereo ¼" TRS jacks of the analog inputs are wired according to international standards:
Tip = + (hot)
Ring = – (cold)
Sleeve = GND
The servo balanced input 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.
