Your very right, I was going from memory (not willing to pop open my Doepfer
portable racks to look), 6 pin would be stereo TRS type. And for the
soldering, the memory was failing again, I was thinking of the instance
where the jacks are soldered to the trace side of the PCB. This is a bad
practice to my mind, but unavoidable with the space considerations. It is
not nearly as stable as through PCB to pad. It is much easier to rip a part
off the trace side of a un-plated through PCB pad than trying to pull the
soldered pad through the hole.
