Does the spacing between the MixOutputs 1/4" jacks on the StudioLive III 16/24/32R have enough room between them to allow the use of 1/4 to xlr converters such as the Neutrik NA3MP-UW? All my cabling is xlr not 1/4" and I want to use these adapters. I dont have access to a unit to test the fit before buying.

Thanks for the help!

Honestly those look like they would be a bit to wide to fit side by side or even one above the other.

Yes and No : I'm so glad that you asked this question because I was going to purchase the Neutrik adapter myself.  I always assumed that you could use the 1/4" to XLR adapters until you asked the question so I decided to test.  I had a couple Hosa adapters sitting around and tested it out.   Looks like the 1/4" output jacks are too close together vertically, however you can fit them in horizontally just fine.  In the image below, I am unable to seat the jack in the channel above the existing jack.
