Interface
Phones:
Volume control for the headphone output.
Master:
Volume control for the line outputs.
L/R (⅛”):
Eurorack input; sent to both the headphone
output and the line output. The L input is normalized to the
R input if nothing is patched to R. Input levels are displayed
on corresponding LEDs.
Phones (¼”):
TRS headphone output. Level is controlled
by Phones knob.
L/R (¼”):
Stereo pair of balanced TRS outputs. Level is
controlled by Master knob.
Patch Tutorial
Patch a mix to the L/R input jacks. Connect your
headphones to the Phones output. Connect your speakers,
PA, audio interface, or mixer to the Master outputs with ¼”
TRS cables.
Patching caution
While difficult to do without the use of adapters, please take care not to patch signals
into the headphone and TRS outputs. We take care to protect all our modules from any
voltages that may be encountered in normal patching, but the drivers required in the ¼”
outputs are more delicate than the circuits we usually use and may be damaged from
incoming voltages. Noise Engineering is not responsible for damage caused by
incorrect patching.
Design Notes
When using our cases, both at home and at shows, we struggled to find an output
module that suited our needs. While there are many options on the market, we needed
one that was small and had level controls for separate headphone and balanced line
outputs. After some searching, we decided to make our own, and Sono Abitus was born.
SA is designed to be a compact and straightforward output solution that will fit most
connectivity needs.
