AUX IN - This balanced XLR audio
input is used if your module has
this capability.

AUX OUT - This balanced XLR audio
output is used if your module has
this capability.

OUT - This balanced XLR audio
output sends the output of the
module to the balanced audio
input of your external equipment.
Use the AUDIO switches if you
want to send the audio output
directly to the input of the next
module in line. In this case the
signals are sent internally and no
XLR patch cords are required.

COMP BUS - These switches are
used for those compressors that
allow linking together for stereo

applications. Only certain
compressors have this feature,
