Cables and adapters needed Inputs to plug into
1/8 inch Mic and Line For most electric instruments: 1/4
inch balanced cable connected to
1/4 inch-to-1/8 inch adapter. For
mics that have an XLR plug on their
cable: XLR-to-1/4 inch adapter
connected to 1/4 inch-to-1/8 inch
adapter. Plug instruments into the Line input; plug
microphones into the Mic input. Alternatively,
plug mics into preamps, and plug preamps
into Line inputs.
1/4 inch Left and Right No adapter required for normal
electric instrument cable. For mics
that have an XLR plug on their
cable: XLR-to-1/4 inch adapter. Plug both instruments and mics into the Left
or Right input of a pair of inputs. If your
instrument has stereo pickups and a stereo
cable, you can plug the cable into both the
Left and Right inputs.
1/4 inch Left and Right,
XLR Left and Right No adapters required Plug instruments into the 1/4 inch Left, Right,
or both inputs. Plug a mic into the XLR Left or
XLR Right input.
S/PDIF (Sony/Phillips
Digital Interface) No adapters required. Use a a 75
ohm coaxial video cable, or special
S/PDIF cable. Do not use standard
stereo component cables. Connect your digital source (probably a
sampler or CD player with digital outputs) to
your sound card’s S/PDIF input using a 75
ohm coaxial video cable, or special S/PDIF
cable.
