Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns 🙋‍♂️

⚙️ Can I use the XLR and the 6.3mm jack at the same time? No. These ports are wired in parallel to the same internal circuit; the combo design is intended to provide input flexibility for one device at a time, not to function as a two-channel mixer.

🔌 Does the 6.3mm jack support balanced TRS signals? Yes. The internal terminal configuration supports Tip, Ring, and Sleeve connections, making it compatible with both balanced (TRS) and unbalanced (TS) instrument cables.

⚠️ Is it difficult to install into a standard rack panel? The mounting holes are designed to be compatible with most standard D-series panel cutouts. Its vertical pin orientation also makes it suitable for direct mounting onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) in custom DIY audio builds.
