15. Analog Outputs
The DMC-842 has 8 balanced XLR outputs on the back panel.
The electronic output stage does not operate servo balanced! When connecting unbal-
anced equipment, make sure pin 3 of the XLR output is not connected. A connection to
ground can cause a higher THD value (higher distortion)!
The button
ANALOG OUT
is used to define the analog reference level at the analog outputs.
The reference level is reached at full scale of the AD-converters, thus matching the front panel
level meter's level indication.

The DMC-842 delivers an undistorted maximum level of +27 dBu. The referencing is based on
full scale of the DA-converters. 0 dBFS will be reached at +13, +19 or +24 dBu output level
respectively.
The different output levels guarantee optimal conversion results, while still being compatible to
any attached analog equipment. Note that ANALOG OUT has no influence on the technical
specifications – distortion, frequency response and signal to noise ratio do not change, or rather
exactly like the analog overall gain.
Set to +13 dBu and +19 dBu the DMC-842 is fully compatible to all RME devices 4 dBu
and Lo Gain as input reference.
