Connecting the outputs
1. Cable Connection
Connect the speakers to the output RCA connectors on the breakout cable.
Output 1 goes to the left speaker and output 2 to the right.
The outputs are labled Out 1 / Out 2 and use unbalanced connections to match
the connectors of usual home audio equipment. For the connection use a
paired RCA cable.
Keep in mind, that for a satisfied level, a pair of active speakers or a HiFi preamp
might be necessary.
Attention:
Always turn down the level before you connect active powered
speakers to the Nanoface. Turn off your active speakers or your preamp before
you start the computer or connect the Nanoface to avoid a potentially damage
of your equipment or hearing loss.
2. Playback with audio programs
Choose the Nanoface in the Windows or Mac OS X audio setup as the default sound
device.
Audio programs, like Windows Media Player, iTunes, Winamp or VLC will now automatically
use the Nanoface output 1/2 and play their signals to the speakers.
Tip
. Some audio or video programs, like the video player VLC, provide a selection from
a list of all available audio devices. In this case it’s possible, to choose the Nanoface as
playback device even when it’s not the default sound device in the operating system.
Tip
. It is recommended, to switch all system sounds off in Windows to avoid problems
with other audio programs.
3. Multichannel audio programs
The Nanoface is a multitrack audio interface. The different outputs are available via
the driver to any audio software and the operating system, which supports multiple
audio outputs.
For the playback on the speakers with a professional multichannel audio software, like
Steinberg Cubase, Apple Logic, AVID Pro Tools or Reaper, just to name a few, two steps
are necessary:
•
Choose the Nanoface in the audio setup of this program (e. g. ASIO device setup
in Cubase or Wavelab).
•
Select Output 1/2 in the track (stereo audio track, submix bus or master out),
which should be play its’ signal on the speakers.
The Nanoface provides 4 analog outputs
in two stereo pairs:
•
Output 1/2 on the breakout cable
(output RCA connectors).
•
Output 3/4 as 1/4“ TRS connector on the
right side of the Nanoface (headphones
symbol).
Both signals can be used as an output for
different signals (e. g. main mix + headphones
mix) from the multitrack software.
