Fun fact
It is deliberately not hot-pluggable, you connect it before powering up, protecting both the gear and the operator.
Tips & tricks
Blue = power in, grey = power out. Never connect an output to another output.
Philosophy
The XLR of the power world. When the show must go on, the last thing you want is the mains lead falling out mid-set.
