There is also a PFL facility to allow the different volume levels to be optimally adjusted. The mixer's main outputs are balanced XLR sockets, in addition to which the user also has two 6.35mm jack outputs at their disposal, and further stereo outputs are provided in the form of RCA jacks as recording outputs and 6.35mm jacks to provide a control room output.
