so there is an input that can plug either XLR or 1/4" jack?

ok, easy one:
there is an input in which you can plug either XLR or 1/4" jack? a "combo" input?
I'm familiar with the XLR input in which you usually plug a microphone.
I'm also familiar with the 1/4 inch jack in which instruments are plugged in, an electric guitar for instance.
but there is a plug in which you can plug in either? an XLR/instrument plug-in like in this audio interface:

Yehp.
It just saves space and prevents you from plugging two separate cables into one single input at the same time.

is it reliable as the "one function" ones?

 

[Steenamaroo]

It's not something that really gets questioned, as far as i know.
They work.

Reliability is a function of build quality, not build type, usually...

Yep. I've never had a problem with them.
