Hi these are just molex (brand) connectors. If you google "Molex KK" and look under images, you should see what they look like. You don't have to use these of course, you can just wire things directly, it just makes things easier if you need to remove a channel for maintenance. The Aux Molex is only necessary if you use the Aux out (for a VU, or maybe to make yourself a mixer like the 3124MB+ or whatever it's called. But that's another can of worms. All the ones I've built so far have nothing connected to the Aux out.
Check this number at mouser : 538-22-23-2027 It's the two pin male header. There is a female part that the wire gets put into, and then attaches to the male. First though there is a metal piece attached to the wire. That's what makes electrical conductivity between the wire and the PCB pad that the male molex is soldered to.
The vertical headers are only needed if you mount the small PCB on top of the larger one. But you can also just connect them with left over resistor leads or hookup wire, but again, you won't be able to take it apart as easily.
hope that helps!
