CONNECT AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

 

The 896mk3 audio interface has the following 
audio input and output connectors:

 

■

 

8 combo-style XLR/quarter-inch analog inputs

 

■

 

8 XLR analog outputs

 

■

 

2 XLR main outs

 

■

 

AES/EBU input/output

 

■

 

S/PDIF input/output

 

■

 

ADAT optical input/output

Here are a few things you should keep in mind as 
you are making these connections to other devices.

 

Analog inputs

 

Connect a microphone, guitar, instrument or other 
analog input to any XLR/quarter-inch combo jack 
with either a standard mic cable or a balanced cable 
with a quarter-inch plug.

Phantom power

If you are connecting a condenser microphone or 
other device that requires phantom power, flip up 
the 48V switch on the front panel to engage 
phantom power.

Trim

Both the low-impedance XLR mic input and the 
high-impedance quarter-inch guitar input are 
equipped with over 60 dB gain. Use the 
corresponding front panel trim knob to adjust the 
input level as needed for each input.

20 dB pad

If the input signal is too hot with the trim turned all 
the way down, engage (flip up) the 20dB pad 
switch for the input on the front panel.

Analog outputs

For the XLR outputs, use high-quality shielded 
cables. These outputs are referenced to +19 dBu.

Main outs

The XLR main outputs serve as independent 
outputs. From the factory, the main out volume is 
controlled by the MASTER VOL knob on the front 
panel, although this knob can be programmed to 
control any combination of outputs. For details, see 
“The Monitor Group” on page 97. In a standard 
studio configuration, the main outs are intended 
for a pair of studio monitors, but they can also be 
used as additional outputs for any purpose.

ADAT optical

The 896mk3 rear panel provides two sets of ADAT 
optical (“lightpipe”) connectors: Bank A and  B 
(Figure 3-3). Each bank provides an input and 
output connector. All four connectors can operate 
independently and offer two different optical 
formats: ADAT optical or TOSLINK (optical 
S/PDIF). For example, you could connect 
8-channel ADAT optical input from your digital 
mixer and stereo TOSLINK output to an effects 
processor.
