30.5 Connector Pinouts 
XLR Connectors 
The XLR sockets of the analog outputs are wired according to international standards: 
1 = GND (Shield), 2 = + (hot), 3 = - (cold). 
The  XLR outputs do not operate servo-balanced! When connecting unbalanced 
equipment, make sure pin 3 of the XLR output is not connected. A connection to ground 
might cause higher THD (distortion) and power consumption! 
TRS Phones jack 
The analog output channels feed 
two  Phones outputs via two 
independent driver circuits. 
In case these outputs should oper-
ate as Line outputs, an adapter TRS 
plug to RCA phono plugs, or TRS 
plug to TS plugs is required. 
The pin assignment follows interna-
tional standards. The left channel is 
connected to the tip, the right chan-
nel to the ring of the TRS jack/plug.
