Title: Board Patch Interfaces

When you get a multitrack patch, what ports do you see available at the board for send lines?
(a headphone monitor port does not count ;)

Select all that apply.

there is no such thing as xlr female outputs.  all xlr outputs are male and all inputs are female. 

typically you'll see mono 1/4" or TRS, but bigger boards in big venues may have xlr outs as well.

$200 for a 7 year old used copy is the cheapest on amazon. ouch,.

I cant find the yamaha book at all.

I dont mind paying $200 for a book, but only if its all I'll ever need and relatively recent (covering modern audio formats like SCD/DVDA/SPDIF/etc).
