Four stereo pairs. Unbalanced 1/4" TRS sockets, wired tip = hot (+ve), sleeve = ground/screen.
Aux sends
Unbalanced 1/4" TRS sockets, wired tip = hot (+ve), sleeve = ground/screen.
Stereo aux returns
Four stereo pairs on balanced 1/4" sockets, wired tip = hot (+ve), ring = cold (-ve), sleeve = ground/ screen.
Subgroup inserts
For inserting into a subgroup signal. Unbalanced send and return on a single 1/4" TRS socket, wired tip =
send, ring = return, sleeve = ground/screen.
