Creative.com echoes this contradiction by describing "Two 1/4" balanced 
inputs [and outputs]". I thought the "balanced" part of the equation is 
that there are /two/ of them, not that /each/ one is "balanced". Isn't 
there a left and a right, together making "stereo" or "balanced"? Sorry 
to be so thick.
