XLR Powered also an XLR output?
I own a small 8-channel mixer(moon mc606beta) wich according to the manufacturer has an XLR output. But this is used to get power from an adaptor(below on it:"AC adaptor"). I'm wondering if the console can be used as a sort of DI/mixer using this XLR and getting power from the main board?
I'm thinking this to connect my chapman stick to effects, then to the mixer, and go with 1 balanced out to the main desk.enter image description here
Thank you for your comments!

That male connector is purely for ac in, but at 18vac. It's keyed, with a screw fixing, and although it looks like an XLR, the latter is slightly larger, and the male/female of each will not fit the other, thankfully. It actually says 'AC POWER IN', telling exactly what it's for!
'Getting power from the main board' isn't making sense. It will only get power from mains, with the correct adaptor, plugged in to that particular port.
It appears to be the same as some of the power-in ports on Behringer and Yamaha mixers, and the power supplies are available as spares including 18vac transformer.
That connector is only for power. You won't be able to connect anything else to that besides the power supply for the Moon Mc 606. You can't use it as an audio output also.
If you look closely, you'll see it's actually slightly different from the XLR connectors that are used for audio signals.
