The Analog CD Audio Connectors.
The SoundSystem SiXPack 5.1 + offers two separate connectors for the
analog output of your CD drive(s). In the SiXPack 5.1 + Control Panel the
controller is marked "CD".
The Basics.
A particularly nice feature of the SoundSystem SiXPack 5.1 + is the possibility to connect two CD
drives (e.g. your CD ROM drive and a Burner) to the card without any loss in in the signal
strength. The inputs CD1 and CD2 are electrically separated from one another and combined in
the mixer. The volume control for both is labeled "CD".
When recording from a CD drive, select the "CD" setting in the ControlPanel under "Record".
The connector jacks are compatible with the widely available MPC3 standard. The pin configu-
ration of the signal and ground circuit is shown in the following:
Appropriate cables can normally be found included with your CD drive or in a PC shop.
If you need an independent controller for each drive you can use the AUX In on the SiXPack 5.1
+. In any case, the input sensitivity here is pretty much the same: approx. 1.5 V
RMS
for the CD
inputs, approx. 1 V
RMS
for the AUX input. To record from both of these sources choose the setting
"Stereo Mix" in the SiXPack 5.1 + Control Panel under "Record".
