There are a number of 25-way D-type female connectors (depending upon the number of input channels) on the

rear connector panel. The connector layout varies with the configuration of input modules and mono and stereo

input modules differ in the facilities available.

l Each block of four Mono inputs has one D-type connector for external mutes, and one D-type for Mic Live

Remotes.

l Each block of four Stereo inputs has one D-type connector for external mutes, and one D-type for

Remote Stop/Starts.

(as viewed from the outside of the console).
