1. Balanced Outputs
Connect these outputs to a set of balanced inputs on your preamp, or to the balanced
inputs on your power amplifier or powered monitors (if you’re using the XDA-2 as a
preamp).
2. Unbalanced Outputs
Connect these outputs to a set of unbalanced inputs on your preamp, or to the unbalanced
inputs on your power amplifier or powered monitors (if you’re using the XDA-2 as a
preamp).
Note: Both Balanced and Unbalanced outputs are active at all times. The level of both
sets of outputs is controlled by the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Mute controls.
Note: The main outputs are muted when headphones are plugged into the front
panel. When there are headphones plugged in, the Volume buttons on the front panel
(and on the remote control) adjust the headphone output level. When no headphones
are plugged in, the Volume buttons adjust the main output level. The XDA-2 stores
both settings independently. When you unplug the headphones, the main output
level will return to its previous setting; when you plug the headphones back in, they
will return to their previous setting.
3. AES/EBU Digital Input
AES/EBU is a type of digital audio signal most often encountered on pro audio equipment
(and some high-end CD players). It is considered preferable for very long cable runs if it is
an available option.
Note: This is a digital input, and ONLY accepts a digital audio signal containing
STEREO PCM data in the AES/EBU signal format. Connecting this input to a balanced
analog audio connection may result in damage to the XDA-2 or your other equipment.
