blackhawk8863 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I just got a HD Pro X in the mail, and I'm looking at all of the 1/4" outputs, which when examined with a flashlight appear to be TRS jacks even though at least two are labeled as "Unablanced Output". Also, I plugged in a TRS cable and hooked up the other end to a multimeter between all combinations of tip, ring, and sleeve to see if any of them complete a circuit when connected, which none of the combinations did. Are all of the 1/4" outputs balanced even though some are labeled as being unbalanced? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawk8863 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 There appears to be three contacts in each 1/4" jack, including the guitar and phones on the front. I would expect that on the headphones connector since it's stereo, but why would all of the other outputs as well as the guitar input have three contacts?

Mr_Arkadin Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I would take the labelling at face value. It's possible that by just using the same type of socket they save a bit on production costs, and the extra pin doesn't get soldered to anything.
