==== Jacks. ====
I never specify jacks as these will vary with a user's requirements. Sometimes a design will include a [[Normalisation|normalized]] connection, which obviously cannot be achieved easily with a banana connector.
 
== To use the wire anchor holes ==
# Trim off the end of a suitable gauge of hookup wire
# Pass it through the larger (pad-less) hole from below and pull a couple of inches through.
# Strip the insulation from the end of the wire, twist and tin it.
# Bend the wire over and pass the tinned part through the associated pad hole. Trim as needed.
# Flip the board and solder the tinned wire to the pad.
# Pull the excess wire back through the first hole so only a short length remains between the hole and the second pad. Make sure this is the LAST step, or the insulation will peel back from the wire as it is soldered.
