on the back of the ceres C4.5BT, is the sub out port mono TRS or stereo TRS? I can buy a cable for a subwoofer in either mono TRS to mono RCA or stereo TRS to dual (left and right) RCA, which should I buy? Many thanks

(the sub has both left and right inputs for RCA, although i understand i can just use one of them, i would prefer to buy a stereo TRS cable - if that's what the out port is on the ceres - and connect it to both left and right of the sub. there's no point, however, if the original output is only mono and way)

For reference, in the Pro Audio world, trs is mono, balanced. For a stereo signal, it uses 2 channels, unlike home/consumer audio that passes left/right via one cable.
