Analog outputs
The analog outputs operate with music-compatible levels of 2.0
V
rms
. Here, you can connect a mixing card, active speakers, or
amplifiers.
Rear (Out 1/2)
The PHASE 24 FW System features two high-quality analog mono outputs on its rear
panel. The connections have been realized as balanced 1/4" jacks. Unbalanced cables
can also be plugged into the outputs, of course.
Front (Out 3/4)
A further analog output (stereo) is available on the front panel that can be used either at
Line level (2.0 V
rms
) or as a hardware-controlled headphone output. The mode for this
output can be selected in the Control Panel.
CAUTION!
As the PHASE 24 FW can deliver an output of up to 2.0 V
rms
in Line mode and
even more in headphone mode, a very high (loud) level will be available depending on the
impedance of your headphones. Take care of your ears, you only have one pair!
On the driver side
all of the outputs are grouped in a multi-channel device. The relevant driver is called
“PHASE 24 FW(0) MC Out”
. The channels can be addressed individually using common
audio applications. For more information on drivers, turn to

Practical tip
: Make full use of the 24-bit support of up-to-date
software applications and connected digital peripherals—even if
you are planning to “just” release your production on CD. The
admittedly subtle increase in audio quality pays off noticeably in
the total signal and especially in digital editing.
