Every plot has a moment where somebody asks "what plugs in where". The Double Female XLR icon settles it on paper: it documents the connector or run the crew has to supply.
Drag it onto the canvas, resize it, rename the label, and it lands in the exported PDF exactly where you left it.
Where it sits on the deck changes how the rest of the plot reads. Cable icons usually sit beside the gear they serve rather than on a fixed part of the deck, close enough that the pairing is obvious in print. Snap the icon to the grid and the distances stay believable on a printed page.
Say this part explicitly. Adapters are the items most often missed in a truck pack. Drawing them is what makes them countable.
Double Female XLR is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it documents the connector or run the crew has to supply, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.
The input list behind the plot exports as a Behringer X32 or Midas M32 scene file, a Behringer Wing scene, or CSV channel names for Allen and Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL desks. See the console guides.
