[8] TRS Audio Jacks
Each of these ¼” Neutrik TRS jacks can operate as either an audio input or an audio output
depending on which modules you connect to the circuit board inside the Palette case. This allows
you maximum flexibility when configuring your case — whether you wish to use these audio jacks
as outputs for a Palette-based synthesizer; as inputs for a Palette-based effects device; or as a
send/return for plugging external pedals or effects devices into your Palette’s signal chain.
These jacks may be used with many different modules (not included), such as the following:
●Stereo Line Out 1U : This module, when connected to an Audio Jacks Connector on the circuit
board , sends balanced +4dBu audio out a pair of ¼” TRS jacks. Use this module to send audio
from your Palette case to a mixer, amp, or DAW.
●Stereo Line In 1U : This module, when connected to an Audio Jacks Connector on the circuit
board , receives balanced +4dBu audio from a pair of ¼” TRS jacks. Use this module to receive
external audio for processing with other modules in your Palette case.
●Pedal I/O 1U : This module, when connected to the Link Connector on the circuit board ,
addresses a pair of ¼” TRS jacks — sending an unbalanced line-level output to the left jack,
and returning an unbalanced live-level input from the pair’s right jack. Use this module to patch
external effects or stomp boxes into your Palette.
●Mixup 3U : This module, when connected to the Link Connector on the circuit board , sends the
unbalanced L/R stereo mix from the rear-panel output of Mixup directly to a pair of ¼” jacks on
Palette. Alternatively, you can connect Mixup so that it receives unbalanced audio from a pair of
Palette’s ¼” jacks, instead.
●Stereo Mix 1U : This module, when connected to the Link Connector on the circuit board ,
sends the unbalanced L/R stereo mix from the rear-panel output of the Stereo Mix 1U directly to
a pair of ¼” jacks on Palette. Alternatively, you can connect Stereo Mix 1U so that it receives
unbalanced audio from a pair of Palette’s ¼” jacks, instead.
IMPORTANT : You should not attempt to connect multiple modules to a single pair of ¼” TRS jacks,
as unexpected results may occur.
NOTE: Palette Cases do not support Intellijel’s old Audio IO 1U module, and will not connect to it in
any way.
[9] ⅛” TRS MIDI Input
MIDI input connector on a ⅛” TRS (Type-A) jack. If you need to connect a 5-pin MIDI device, use
the included Type-A ⅛” TRS-to-5-pin MIDI adapter. MIDI arriving at this jack is routed to the 10-pin
MIDI Connector socket on the Palette’s circuit board , where it can be connected to a MIDI converter
module, such as the Intellijel MIDI 1U.
