Getting Sound Happening
The following procedure demonstrates how to
connect a microphone to an input and get sound out
of the Digital X Bus.
Here’s what you’ll need:
• 1 stereo power amplifi er
• 1 pair of monitor speakers (you can substi-
tute a pair of powered monitors for the power
amplifi er/monitor speaker combo, or a set of
stereo headphones)
• 1 microphone
• Appropriate cable to connect the microphone to
your particular input card
• Cables to connect the speaker outputs to the
amplifi er or powered monitor speakers
Here's what you do:
1. Turn on the Digital X Bus.
2. Connect a microphone to Input 1. If you are us-
ing a MIC/LINE 8 card, use a DB25-to-XLR fe-
male breakout cable to connect the microphone
to Input 1. If you are using a MIC/LINE 4 card,
you can plug the XLR microphone cable directly
into the card.
