Monitoring
The 2
HEADPHONES
sockets are ¼” stereo jack sockets and have a
paralleled (i.e. the same) output. The outputs are suitable for headphones
with impedances from 80ohm to 1.5kohm.
Note : It is advised that level limited headphones should be used with
this product.
The headphone
LEVEL
control is a rotary knob used for altering the volume of
audio to the paralleled headphones. The headphone level operates from cut
(
∞
) to a maximum level which depends on the impedance and type of
headphones being used.
The Monitor Indicator is a LED showing the status of the MONITOR SELECT
button. Illuminated indicates PC mode, extinguished indicates input
monitoring.
The
MONITOR SELECT
button has two modes :
- PC
mode, with the button raised, allows you to monitor audio from the PC,
i.e. for monitoring playback from the PC.
- INPUT SELECT
mode, with the button depressed, allows you to monitor the
stereo analogue audio input.
Audio Inputs & Outputs
The
INPUT
consists of 2 (stereo) balanced XLR sockets which could take an
output from a professional DAT machine, flash-card recorder, or professional
cassette machine.
The stereo
OUTPUT
provides an output feed from the PC, regardless of the
status of the MONITOR SELECT button.
Connections to & from the PC
The
PC
ANALOGUE
input/output connector is a 15 way D-type socket which
should be connected to the analogue input of the soundcard in the connected
PC (usually a Digigram PCX924 card).
The
S/PDIF DIGITAL INPUT & OUTPUT
consists of two phono sockets
which allow you to connect domestic digital equipment to the DAW, for
example, a CD player. The digital audio is routed directly to the digital input
of the PC card and is not affected by the DAW. Similarly the digital output
from the PC card is routed directly to the S/PDIF output on the DAW.
The
PC
DIGITAL
input/output connector is a 15 way high density D-type
socket which should be connected to the digital input of the soundcard in the
connected PC (usually a Digigram PCX924 card).
