The connectors are, from left to right, IEC power [...]

The front panel holds, from left to right, the power switch, 4 LED indicators (+15V, +12V, -12V and +9V), two filter bypass switches and two output level pots. The rear panel holds, from left to right, stereo audio inputs (unbalanced), stereo audio [...]
