A MIC/LINE INPUT 1,2 jacks

Balanced condenser mics or line-level devices with balanced output can be connected to these inputs. Unbalanced outputs such as on synthesizers can also be connected here. These jacks will accommodate either XLR plugs or TRS phone plugs.

B INSERT I/O jacks

These are TRS phone jacks for connecting external effect devices. By connecting an external effect such as a compressor or noise gate to these jacks, you can process the signal of input channels 1 and 2.
