AUX Output configuration 

This auxiliary stereo output - available on a TA-3 connector [AUXOut] - is directly derived from the DSP of the 
Recorder; thus it monitors the tracks of the recorder. This output is used to feed a mix to camera, an external 
recorder, a video suite or any other destination where a sub-mix might be required. It is configured by two 
separate menus  

 

- [AUX] menu: 

is used to route and assign the tracks to the output 

- [AUX SETUP]:  

is used to configure the Auxiliary output as analogue or digital output, to adjust the 
output level from 0dBFS to -40dBFS or to turn it Off to save on batteries 

 

The routing and assignment is configured on a similar way as for the BOOM output, except that the [AUXOut] 
does not offer the Solo Monitoring 
 

 

 

 

 

Primary switches select the 
monitoring mode per pair: 
OFF, MONO, STEREO, REV-
ST , MS or indicates USER 

 

 
Odd track of the pair 

 
Secondary switches route each 
track individually: 
OFF – L – R – C 

 
Even track of the pair

Return to previous Menu 

 

 

 

 
The attenuation of the output signal is computed in the DSP, in the digital domain, and is applied to the sum of 
the Left and Right channels which results of the routing configuration in the [AUX OUTPUT] menu. 

 

Logically, the maximum level allowed in the routing is 0dBFS, which corresponds to an analogue level of 
14dBu. The analogue output level is -4dBu for a reference set at -18dBFS, respectively -6dBu for a reference 
of -20dBFS and +5dBu for a reference at -9dBFS. 

 

WARNING:

 

levels on the Left and Right outputs depend on the summation in the routing matrix; thus, 
output levels do not correspond to the levels displayed by the peak-meters.
