32.2 Connector Pinouts 
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) 
The inner TRS jack is free of phantom power and wired like the other TRS jacks. 
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 interna-
tional standards. The left channel is 
connected to the tip, the right chan-
nel to the ring of the TRS jack/plug.
