For a discreet right/left input configuration, connect a balanced XLR plug containing the "Right" portion of the stereo signal to the Right Main Input. Connect a balanced XLR plug containing the "Left" portion of the stereo signal to the Left Input. For a TRS stereo input configuration, connect a Tip-Ring-Sleeve stereo plug into the front panel STEREO IN input. This cable may come from a mixer's headphone output for example. The Aux Inputs are connected in the same manner as the discreet right/left input configuration listed above. To send a mono signal to the RA62b, connect an XLR jack to either Main Input, or a single 1/4" Tip-Sleeve or RCA plug into either Aux Input input and press in the front panel MONO/STEREO switch. This mono signal will be fed to both the right and left sides of the headphone outputs. Note: Descriptions for Channel One through Channel Six are identical.

The inserts require Tip-Ring-Sleeve connectors, with right and left signals on the tip and ring respectively. If you use a TS mono plug - you will only hear sound out of one side. When these insert jacks are used, the main Right/Stereo and Left/Mono, as well as the Aux Inputs - are disconnected. [. . . ]
