Chapter 10—Bus Outs
03D—Owner’s Manual
About Bus Outs
The 03D features four bus outputs. Input channel, stereo input channel, and effects
return signals can be routed to the four buses. Each bus out features four-band para-
metric EQ and a dynamics processor. Bus outs can be used individually or in stereo
pairs. Bus signals are output via analog phone jacks. They can also be output via the
YGDAI digital outputs.
Analog Bus Outs
Bus out signals are converted to analog using
18-bit D/A converters, and then output via bal-
anced 1/4-inch phone jacks with a +4 dB nominal
output level.
Bus Outs & the YGDAI Interface
In addition to the analog bus outs, bus out signals can be output via the YGDAI digital
outputs. See YGDAI Cards on page 223 for more information.
Rec Out & Bus Outs 1 & 2
Signals from bus outs 1 and 2 can be sent to the REC OUT
connectors. These are phono jacks with a –10 dBV nom-
inal output level. The bus out 1 signal is sent to the left
REC OUT, and bus out 2 signal is sent to the right REC
OUT. The REC OUT connectors can also be used to out-
put the stereo output signal. The REC OUT SOURCE
SELECT switch is used to select the signal source.
Monitoring Bus Outs
See Solo, Monitors & Meters on page 71 for more information.
Metering Bus Outs
Bus out signal levels can be metered on the Meter pages. See Metering on page 79 for
more information.
Routing Signals to Bus Outs
Input channel, stereo input channel, and effects return signals can be routed to buses 1
to 4. See Stereo Pan, Balance & Routing on page 59 for more information.
