Anatomy (Front Panel)
1. Main Outputs:
Balanced outputs - Plug in
a ¼” (6.35mm) TRS or TS (unbalanced is
also fine). Route to recording interface or
to house system, etc. Output level is
determined by the Main Out knob (
see
#12 below
). Avoid accidentally having
phantom power from your recording
interface/mixer on. There is built in
protection for overvoltage, but best
practice is to…not.
2. Main Output Peak LEDs:
Peak-detection
at about 10 Volts. This leaves a bit of
headroom before things truly begin to
distort the outputs of Auscult (note, these
peak when you’ve exceeded your
headroom at
modular
voltage level).
3. Main Inputs Section:
Typically if you
have some sort of mixer upstream from
Auscult, you’d plug the main outs of that
into these Main Inputs. If the source is
mono, plug it into the L/Mono jack and it
will automatically be normalled into the
right channel. This audio routes to both
the Main Outputs of Auscult, as well as to
the headphones (assuming the
headphone SRC knob is set to monitor
the Main Input.
See #9 below
).
4. Main Inputs Rear SRC Switch:
This
switch is the source selector for which of
the Main Inputs (front or rear) get routed
to the Main Outputs/headphones. When
the switch is off, the inputs on the front
panel are selected. When the switch is on
(pushed in), the inputs on the rear are
selected. Note it is not possible to mix
both front and rear sources together.
5. Main Input Peak LEDs:
These are post
SRC Switch.
