14) Audio Input — B/Right and A/Left
These jacks are the Right and Left Audio Inputs into the ASR-10 for sampling or Audio Track
monitoring of external analog audio sources.
SPECS: 140 KOhm input impedance, AC coupled. The Audio Inputs have 2 ranges: Line and
Mic. With the Mic/Line switch set to Line, the
ASR-10 will accommodate signals from +15.5dBV (Input Level Trim control fully
counterclockwise) to -16.5dBV (Input Level Trim control fully clockwise). With the Mic/Line
switch set to Mic, the ASR-10 will accommodate signals from -11.5dBV (Input Level Trim control
fully counterclockwise) to -43.5dBV (Input Level Trim control fully clockwise). Matching the
appropriate input level with the correct settings of the Mic/Line switch and Input Level Trim
control will bring the external signal source up to clipping level.
15) Main Out — Right/Mono and Left/Mono
To operate the ASR-10 in stereo, connect these outputs to two discrete channels of your mixer
and pan the mixer channels right and left. Note that either of the audio outputs can be used as a
mono output. If you want to listen to the output in mono, make sure that only one of the output
jacks is connected.
16) Phones
To listen to the ASR-10 in stereo through headphones, plug the phones into this jack. The phones
output contains a mix of the signal from the main outputs. Headphone volume is controlled by
the volume slider on the front panel. Note that plugging headphones into this jack does not
automatically turn off the audio in the right and left outputs.
