Connecting to the Audio Interface
When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks, the use of standard analog RCA
audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75-ohm coaxial
(RG59) video cables are recommended.
MIDI
Your AudioFire is equipped with MIDI I/O connectors. The MIDI ports can be
used for receiving MIDI time code (MTC), or sending and receiving MIDI signals
between your digital audio/MIDI sequencing software and external sound modules,
keyboards, MIDI controllers, etc.
MIDI cabling is standardized and widely available.
MIDI and S/PDIF Dongle (AudioFire2)
To conserve the space on your AudioFire2, the MIDI and S/PDIF ports are located
on an external cable included with your AudioFire2. This cable connects to the
MiniDIN connector on the back of your AudioFire2.
This cable can be left off when you are not using MIDI or S/PDIF. The S/PDIF
and MIDI ports are labeled
IN
and
OUT
on the dongle.
