As with the ES-3, the ES-6 also works well for audio signals, with conversion quality on a par with a regular audio interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFunctionally equivalent to the original ES-6, the mk2 adds these improvements:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated jack sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLess HP\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLess deep\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-6 itself has 6 input sockets; the remaining 2 channels are provided by an expansion module e.g. the ES-7.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that a connected ES-3 or ES-8 is required for operation.

The power connector is a Doepfer standard 16 way IDC, with -12 V furthest from the top of the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eNote that connection to the ES-3 is by a simple plug-in cable for the ES-3 mk2 and above.
