1:Aux Sends (1, 2) - These unbalanced 1/4" outputs allow you to route signal from each of the two discrete Aux Sends to external devices such as effects processors. Aux send 1 is pre-fade but post-EQ, while Aux send 2 is both post-fade and post-EQ. See the “Using the Aux Sends and Returns” section on page 32 in this manual for more information.

2:Main out (L, R) - These are the MIXPAD’s main outputs. You’ll usually use these to connect the MIXPAD to a tape recorder or to a power amp and loudspeakers. The Main out jacks are electronically balanced, so you should use balanced three-conductor cabling and TRS plugs wherever possible (unbalanced two-conductor plugs can also be inserted into these outputs, but you’ll get better signal quality and less outside noise and hum if you use balanced lines). See the “Connecting the MIXPAD” section on page 19 in this manual for more information.

3:Aux Returns (1/2, 3/4) - These inputs allow you to route signal from external devices such as effects processors to either of the MIXPAD's two stereo Aux Returns. These jacks accept unbalanced 1/4" TRS plugs, with the tip carrying the left signal and the ring carrying the right signal (sleeve is common ground). See the “Using the Aux Sends and Returns” section on page 32 in this manual for more information.
