Digital Inputs

The 16 digital input channels on the rear of the 328 are accessed by two 8
Channel TDIF or ADAT Optical input connectors. There is also a dedicated

All of these inputs have full access to the E-Strip which offers 3 band fully
Parametric Equalisation, 4 Auxiliary Sends, 2 Effects Sends (routed to 2 x internal
Lexicon FX Processors) and a pan control.

Analogue Outputs

The 328 offers an array of Analogue Outputs including MIX Outputs on balanced
male XLR and unbalanced RCA phono plugs, 4 Auxiliary Outputs, Control Room
Outputs on balanced jacks and a Headphone Output with it's own level control.

Digital Outputs

There are 16 digital output channels available via the 8 TRK A and 8 TRK B
Outputs in the form of 2 TDIF ports and 2 ADAT output ports. Both TDIF
outputs and both ADAT outputs are continually and simultaneously active. Either
these can be configured as 16 Direct Outputs - sourced from Mic/Line Input
Channels 1-16 - or alternatively as two paralleled 8 Bus Outputs sourced from the
ROUTE TO GROUP buttons.
