(AES/EBU or S/PDIF). Connecting digitally is the best choice for routing to external digital recording devices, such as a DAT recorder. These digital outputs send the same audio as is sent to PODxt Pro’s Analog Outs.* The digital signal is always sent at 24-bit resolution. All settings for configuring the PODxt Pro’s digital in/out options are found on the PODxt Pro device itself by pressing the “I/O Dig Select” button on the front panel (these digital I/O options are not accessible in GearBox). For more information on using these digital connections, please see your PODxt Pro Pilot’s Handbook.

Routing audio from your Line 6 hardware to an external device

In addition to the ability to route digital audio directly within your computer , you may instead want to route your GearBox or PODxt signal into another sound card on the same or separate computer. Better yet, with all the great tones you can now create for your mics & instruments with GearBox, there is no need to limit them to the inside of a computer!
