I've never used an amp with XLR connection. I see it can be used for recording, or into a mixer. So, can you fine forum members suggest to me how one goes about hitching devices to these connectors ? Any suggestions for sound and recording with this fine amp. Enlighten me. Thanks.

The XLR connectors provide a balanced output, which is less susceptible to external electrical interference than a normal, unbalanced connection (eg with jack plugs). (If you want to know what a balanced signal is and how it works, there are many good articles you can find on the 'net so I won't repeat here). From your point of view just using it, there's nothing special to do, just treat it as an audio output. All you need is the right plug/cable.

Ideally your mixer/PA will have XLR balanced inputs. Just get a balanced XLR-to-XLR cable and plug it into your amp output and mixer input. NB make sure the XLR cable is labelled as a balanced audio cable; you can get differently-wired cables that look the same externally.

Or if your mixer/PA just has mono jack inputs, you can get an XLR-to-jack cable. This is wired-up to take care of the XLR end being balanced and the jack end not. So again, just plug it in and you're good to go.

Finally, you can also get connections where a TRS jack plug/socket (tip, ring, sleeve - the plug you'd use for stereo headphones, etc) is used and wired-up for a balanced mono signal. These are less common but I mention in case this is what your mixer input has. If that's the case - again, just find the appropriate ready-made cable.
