Besides being used for inserting external devices,

these jacks can also be used as channel direct outputs
(post-GAIN). This is an unbalanced direct out.

Here are three ways you can use the INSERT jacks:

Direct out with no signal interruption to master.

Insert only to first “click.”

5. OUTPUTS -6

These 1/4" TRS output connectors provide balanced

or unbalanced line-level analog signals. The signal at
the LINE OUTs are assigned in the DAW application as
follows:

Output 3 = Core Audio/ASIO out 3

Output 4 = Core Audio/ASIO out 4

Output 5 = Core Audio/ASIO out 5

Output 6 = Core Audio/ASIO out 6

6. CR OUT 1 and

These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a balanced line-level

signal that can be used to provide a monitor mix to a pair
of powered studio monitors, or an additional headphone
mix to a headphone amplifier.

There are two pairs of Control Room outputs labeled

A and B. These are selected using the A/B Select switch
[26] in the Control Room section on the front panel of
the base station. The same signal is routed to both stereo
control room outputs, as well as the PHONES 1 and 2
outputs.

7. FIREWIRE

When the pod is connected to the base station, the

FireWire connector on the base station is activated
and used to connect to your computer. It operates in
the same way as described for the FireWire connector
on the pod [13], except that up to six tracks can be
returned from your DAW to the Onyx Satellite instead of
just two.

8. POWER Connector

Normally, the Onyx Satellite can be powered from the

FireWire connector (which provides 12V DC for power-
ing devices). However, if you are using a 4-pin FireWire
connector instead of a 6-pin connector (the 4-pin
connector doesn’t provide power), or if you have two or
more devices daisy-chained on a single connector, you
need to use the AC adapter that came with your Onyx
Satellite.

Connect the AC adapter to the Onyx Satellite first,

then plug the adapter into a suitable and properly rated
AC outlet.

9. Kensington Security Slot

To help prevent theft, this security slot is designed to

fit the popular Kensington security locks. A variety of
models are available from their website at
www.kensington.com.
