REAR CONNECTORS
External Effects Connectors, EXT RTN / LINE/Hi-Z / FX SEND
Balanced (TRS) 1/4” Jack. Connect external effects device outputs to EXT RTN inputs and use
EXT RTN control to adjust FX signal level sent to main LR MIX or XONE:VCF.
Set input impedance for external effects between LN (suitable for Line level inputs), or Hi-Z
(suitable for guitar effects pedals and legacy hardware).
Connect your external effects hardware inputs to FX SEND and outputs to EXT RTN.
Use FX SEND controls to send Channel audio to the external effects device.
1
USB LINE / PHONO Select Switches, CH 1 - 4
Set CH1 - 4 USB SND to LN (for Line level) or PH (for RIAA level) signal input to internal
soundcard. For CD / Vinyl timecode control, or to record Channel input via USB.
2
LINE Inputs, CH 1 - 4
Unbalanced (RCA). Connect stereo LINE level media players to the LINE input.
Do not connect turntables requiring RIAA equalisation.
You can also connect to LINE level jack sources using RCA to 1/4” Jack adapters.
Avoid using low grade cables such as those often supplied with domestic equipment as these
can quickly prove unreliable in use.
3
Chassis Earth Terminals
2 x Screw terminals are provided for connecting the earth straps from turntables to prevent
ground hum.
4
PHONO Inputs, CH 1 - 4
Unbalanced (RCA). Plug in turntables with magnetic cartridges requiring RIAA equalisation.
For non-RIAA turntables plug into the LINE input instead.
Do not plug in LINE level sources to the PHONO Inputs as these will overload the preamp
and cause severe, high level, distortion.
