IEM

.

IEC Power Cord Receptacle

The IEM comes with an international power supply that will accept voltages ranging from 100V-
240V at frequencies from 50Hz-60Hz. An IEC cord is included.

RS-232 Port

This port is used as a direct interface between IEM and PC for utilization of the GUI software.
This port is also used for firmware flash updates.

MIDI In and Out/Thru Connectors

These connectors provide full MIDI functionality to the IEM. The Out/Thru jack allows you to
use the IEM at any point in the MIDI chain. For a complete guide to all the MIDI and SYSEX
functionality of the IEM, see Section 3: Software Operations.

Analog Input/Output Connectors

Each analog channel features both XLR and 1/4" TRS electronically balanced connections. They
may be used in a balanced or unbalanced configuration. 

Analog Input and Output Level Controls

These controls adjust the analog audio levels of the IEM at the input and output stages. Note
that the analog output level controls do not affect any digital processing. 

The IEM is designed to interface as easily as possible to your system. The IEM uses wide
ranging analog input and output gain controls. These controls allow the connection of nomi-
nal levels of either -10dBV or +4dBu.

Analog Level Meters

These meters monitor analog input and output. For more on meters refer to Section 3.

TSE™ Audio  Level  Meters

These meters monitor the level of Tape Saturation Emulation. Refer to Type IV™ in Section 3.
