03 · What this product asks of the rest of the system.

Compatibility

Treat connector names as the start of the check—not the answer. These are the boundaries that determine a complete working path.

Best fit · Mic Preamp

Use it when 3U and 190.5 mm of depth fit the case.

Plan the companion path

Complete the path with upstream and downstream gear that matches connector, direction, signal type, protocol, and wiring standard.

Connector boundary

Documented connectors: card edge, IEC C14, XLR female, ¼-inch TRS. Match connector, direction, and signal type—not shape alone.

04 · Every connector, grouped by job.

I/O ports
