XLR inputs and outputs
We used exclusively Switchcraft/Neutrik XLR input and output plugs and jacks to guaran-
tee perfect connectivity in the studio. These plugs and jacks provide an optimal connec-
tion thanks to their electromechanical design and large contact surface.
The image shows the XLR connectors pinout. They are balanced and have three conduc-
tors or wires. Conductor 2 (Pin 2) corresponds to the (+) or hot Signal.
In case an unbalanced connection is necessary, the correct polarity of the conductors
needs to be observed.

Side-chain Insert
This insert serves to connect an external external stereo equalizer into the side-chain of
the IRON Mastering Compressor. This can be used to focus the response of the compres-
sion to certain frequency ranges. This is also referred to as frequency selective compres-
sion (for more information, see page 18).
Send features two XLR connectors, balanced. Return features two XLR connectors – one
for the left and one for the right channel. The pinout is identical to the input and output
connectors.
