Appendix B: Connections

XLR Connectors

Channels 1 and 2 use 3-pin female XLR

connectors on the MIC inputs. They are wired as

follows, according to standards speciﬁed by the AES

(Audio Engineering Society).

XLR Balanced Wiring

Pin 1 = Shield

Pin 2 = Hot (+)

Pin 3 = Cold (–)

1/4" TRS Phone Plugs and Jacks

“TRS” stands for Tip-Ring-Sleeve, the three

connections available on a stereo 1/4" or balanced

phone jack or plug. TRS jacks and plugs are used for

balanced signals and stereo headphones:

Balanced Mono

1/4" TRS Balanced Mono wiring:

Sleeve = Shield

Tip = Hot (+)

Ring = Cold (–)

Stereo Headphones

1/4" TRS Stereo Unbalanced Wiring:

Sleeve = Shield

Tip = Left

Ring = Right

1/4" TS Phone Plugs and Jacks

“TS” stands for Tip-Sleeve, the two connections

available on a mono 1/4" phone jack or plug. They

are used for unbalanced signals.

1/4" TS Unbalanced Wiring:

Sleeve = Shield

Tip = Hot (+)

RCA Plugs and Jacks

RCA-type plugs (also known as phono plugs)

and jacks are often used in home stereo and video

equipment and in many other applications. They are

unbalanced and electrically equivalent to a 1/4" TS

phone plug.

RCA Unbalanced Wiring:

Sleeve = Shield

Tip = Hot

1/4" TRS Insert Plugs and Jacks

When patching an external device into a

channel’s insert jack, or the main insert jacks, you

may need to use a special 1/4" TRS connector

called an “Insert plug.” These use the tip to send the

signal to the external device, and the ring to return

the signal to the mixer. The sleeve is the common

ground (earth) for both signals. These are both

unbalanced signals.
