These TRS phone jacks are used to connect signal processors for use with input channel 1 and

this type of connection. A wiring diagram for an insert cable is provided on page 35.

you’re not using condenser microphones with these inputs, keep the PHANTOM POWER

signal to the stereo mix, set the TAPE IN switch to TO STEREO.
