Use the XLR jacks, wired as 1=ground, 2=hot, 3=cold
for balanced connections, and the RCA (pin) jacks for unbalanced connections.
On playback or monitoring, audio is always output from both sets of connectors in parallel.

Strictly speaking, the format used by these connec- tors is called
When working in Sampling Frequency 88.2/96 kHz mode, there is an option of either using one XLR con- nector at double speed
In Sampling Frequency 176.4/192 kHz mode, both con- nectors are used at double speed
S/PDIF These RCA pin jacks are labeled as COAXIAL on the rear panel. The format is S/PDIF (IEC60958).
These jacks can accept and transmit data at Sampling Frequency 44.1/48 kHz mode or at Sampling Frequency 88.2/96 kHz mode.
