The receiver includes balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch audio outputs to connect to a broad range of professional audio equipment. Designed for rack mounting, its single rack-unit metal chassis is built for durability and includes comprehensive connectors for antennas, audio outputs, and a data port for remote control and monitoring via optional software.
