Connecting to Mia
Analog Inputs and Outputs
Mia has two analog outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) and two
analog inputs (IN1 and IN2) on the back. The input and
output connections can accept balanced or unbalanced
jacks via ¼” connectors. By default, both the inputs and
outputs are set to receive or send a +4 dBu signal. You
can also select –10 dBV for each individual input and
output (see the description of the console, below).
For optimum performance it is recommended that you use
balanced signals when connecting to Mia’s analog
connectors. Mia uses TRS connectors (tip, ring sleeve)
for connecting balanced line level signals.
The three sections of a TRS connector are used to
transmit the three components of a balanced signal (T =
plus, R = minus, S = ground). Mia will also accommodate
the two conductor unbalanced style connector.
S/PDIF Digital Inputs and Outputs
Under the analog connectors is a pair of connectors labeled
DOUT
and
DIN
.
These S/PDIF connectors are used to transmit digital audio data via an
electrical signal. S/PDIF data can use the full 24-bit sample width used
internally on Mia.
