Right under the left trs 1/4 output, theres something like the tip of the cable

It says gnd cold and hot.What does that mean :confused:
 
It's just indicating how the TRS jacks are configured, in case you're making your own cables or something. If you've ever looked at a 1/4-in TRS plug, it's got three solder points on it--one to the tip, one to the ring and one to the sleeve. That schematic just shows you what wire should connect where to interface correctly with that jack. That is the standard wiring configuration for TRS connectors BTW.
 
It shows you how the cable/connector is expected to be wired... the sleeve is GND, the ring is cold, and the tip is hot....
 
what does coldand hot mean?the tip is hot so you shouldnt touch it or something?
 
They're electrical terms for the polarity and/or flow of the wiring.... hot is the positive component, cold the negative (or polarized opposite of the hot signal), and then the GND for neutral/ground connection.

Nothing will happen to you if you touch the cables - there isn't enough current in the signal to produce a shock.....
