MICROTUBES INFINITY: USER GUIDE

If you feed an unbalanced input from these outputs, 

use an instrument cable with a mono 1/4” plug. 

DIRECT OUTPUT 

An XLR output with a ground lift switch provides a 

reliable standard connection to a mixing desk or an 

external audio interface for a guaranteed low-noise 

signal. 

MIDI IN 

A standard 1/8” TRS (Type B) jack allows connecting 

an external MIDI controller to the Microtubes Infinity 

for  even  more  flexibility.  Read  more  about  the 

MIDI capabilities at

USB 

The USB-C port unlocks the Microtubes Infinity’s USB 

audio interface capabilities and enables interaction 

with the Darkglass Suite desktop app, allowing for 

software updates and access to the Darkglass IR 

library, containing hundreds of cabinet simulations. 

USB MIDI is also supported.

The position of the Cabsim block in the signal chain
