qDIGITAL IN (coaxial) jack

This coaxial digital input jack is compatible with the IEC60958-3 (S/PDIF) standard.

wDIGITAL OUT (coaxial) jack

This coaxial digital output jack is compatible with the IEC60958-3 (S/PDIF) and AES3-2003 (AES/EBU) standards. This jack outputs the same signals as LINE OUTPUTS 1/2 or LINE OUTPUTS 3/4. Set this using the control panel. The digital signal format can also be set using the control panel.

NOTE

This unit’s DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks can input and output signals at 24-bit/96 kHz.

eMIDI OUT connector

This standard 5-pin DIN connector can be used to output MIDI signals.

rMIDI IN connector

This standard 5-pin DIN connector can be used to input MIDI signals.

tINPUTS (BALANCED) jacks and LEV switches

INPUTS (11-14) are standard TRS balanced input jacks. Use the LEV switches to set the nominal level to either –10 dBV (−10) or +4 dBu (+4).

NOTE

The gain of these jacks cannot be adjusted.

yLINE OUT (BALANCED) jacks (1-4)

These standard TRS jacks are balanced analog line output jacks. The nominal output level is +4 dBu. These jacks output signals sent from a computer to the unit by USB. Use the audio application on the computer to set which signals to output. Connect these outputs to an external mixer, recorder or other device.

(Tip: HOT, Ring: COLD, Sleeve: GND)

uMONITOR (BALANCED) jacks (L/R)

These standard TRS jacks are balanced analog jacks that output the monitoring signals. These can output both a mono mix of signals from the unit inputs (1-14) and the signals output from the computer for monitoring. Use the MIX knob on the front panel

to adjust the balance of these two sources. Use the MONITOR knob on the front panel to adjust the output level.

Connect these jacks to monitor speakers, for example. (Tip: HOT, Ring: COLD, Sleeve: GND)
