In Reply to: The output is a 4-wire connection or you can use a 1/4" stereo headphone plug posted by Ralph on December 16, 2024 at 11:18:40:
4 pin out is usually called balanced output and on Manely's web site they say its balanced:
Outputs (transformer coupled):
1 pair RCA- Unbalanced (Preamp Output)
1 x TRS ΒΌ" JACK - Unbalanced
1 x 4 PIN XLR- Balanced
The link below goes into some nuance. And also just from a practical standpoint that amp at that price should have balanced ins. Especially if they are targeting studios.
