Turntable Inputs
& Ground Lug
The RCA turntable inputs feed an RIAA equalized phono preamp designed to accept moving magnet type
phono cartridges. The turntable inputs share line level inputs 3L and 3R. Inserting a plug into Line Input 3
disconnects the phono preamp from that channel. Connect the ground lead from your turntable to the
turntable ground lug to prevent hum.
MIDI 2 In/Out
A second, independent set of MIDI input and output ports which can be assigned in your specific MIDI
application.
Line Level
Analog Outputs
Eight balanced 24-bit, line-level, analog outputs are provided (1-4). Output pair 4 is designated as the Monitor
Output and is normally fed by the monitor output of the PatchMix DSP mixer application. All the analog outputs
can be freely assigned in the mixer application. Special anti-pop circuitry mutes the analog outputs when power
is turned on or off.
Like the analog line inputs, either TRS balanced or TS unbalanced cables can be used. Balanced cables provide
better noise immunity and +6dB higher signal level, but standard mono instrument cables also work well.
The output line level can be set to accommodate the consumer -10dBV standard, or the pro audio +4 dBu
standard in the I/O screen of the Session Settings dialog box.
Alternate
Outputs
These stereo mini-phone (3.5mm) jacks duplicate the line level outputs 1-4. These line level outputs are
designed to support up to 7.1 surround sound applications (surround application not supplied) and powered
speakers.
EDI Connector
(Card)
Connects the AudioDock to the E-MU 1010 PCI card using a CAT 5e computer cable. The cable supplied with
the AudioDock is specially shielded to prevent unwanted RF emissions. The maximum cable length is 10 meters.
