AUX Returns

The AUX Returns (3) are stereo, with a L&R input for each return channel. Inputs are 1/4" unbalanced jacks, nominal level (+4dBu).

One special feature: The Left input jack to each return is also labeled “MONO.” If you have only one return signal, plugging it into the “MONO/L” jack only will cause it to be connected to both the left and
