Making Studio Connections
To hear audio recorded into a Pro Tools session,
you will need to connect headphones or an ex-
ternal sound system (such as powered monitors
or a home stereo) to your 003 family interface.
Sound from your 003 family interface
cannot be
played through your computer’s speakers or
your computer’s sound output.
Connecting Headphones
There are two stereo 1/4-inch headphone jacks
on 003 family interfaces.
To connect headphones:
Connect headphones with a 1/4-inch stereo
connector (or adapter) to the Headphone 1 or 2
jack.
To adjust headphone levels:
Adjust the Headphone 1 or 2 Level knobs.
To set Headphone 2 Output to mirror Output pair
3–4:
Press the 3/4-HP2 switch.
Connecting a Sound System
The Main Monitor Outputs on the back of 003
family interfaces support 1/4-inch plugs. These
connections can be balanced, TRS (Tip, Ring,
Sleeve) style connectors, or unbalanced connec-
tors. To listen to your Pro Tools session, these
outputs can be connected to any amplification
system: powered speakers, a home stereo sys-
tem, or an audio mixer.
