Just for any "outs" as they warn of . The danger resides in the outer part of the shorting cap touching the metal chassis in any manner should an "out" send a signal. Who’d want that to happen?

Shorting plugs
I had my spare RCA sockets on the preamp shorted and thought that I didn’t need to worry about the XLR and AES/EBU connections.Wrong assumption! Shorting the latter resulted in a significant reduction of hash and increased clarity in the treble as well as more precise positioning in the sound stage. Everything matters and as tweaks go this one is value for money.
