SOUNDCARD ARCHITECTURE
ANALOGUE INPUTS:
The analogue inputs are sourced from the input channels on the Xone:4D as
follows:
Channel
Soundcard Input Selectable From
1 1/2 Mic or Channel 1 (Pre or Post Fader)
2 3/4 FX2 or Channel 2 (Pre or Post Fader)
3 5/6 FX1 or Channel 3 (Pre or Post Fader)
4 7/8 Mix or Channel 4 (Pre or Post Fader)
DIGITAL INPUTS:
The SPDIF digital inputs are sourced directly from the digital input sockets on the
rear of the Xone:4D. The soundcard will internally switch between the COAX
and Optical inputs, with the COAX connection being the default. The digital
inputs are sent directly to the soundcard on inputs 9/10.
ANALOGUE OUTPUTS:
The analogue outputs are sent to the mixer from the PC/Mac and can be sourced
as follows:
Channel
Soundcard Output Routing
1 1/2 Channel SC1-2 switch and rear panel
RCA connectors
2 3/4 Channel SC3-4 switch and rear panel
RCA connectors
3 5/6 Channel SC5-6 switch and rear panel
RCA connectors
4 7/8 Channel SC7-8 switch
DIGITAL OUTPUTS:
The SPDIF digital outputs are sent directly to the digital output sockets on the
rear of the Xone:4D. The digital output will be present on both the COAX and
Optical output connectors simultaneously. The digital outputs are sent directly
from software on soundcard outputs 9/10.
SPDIF DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
SPDIF is a popular digital audio interfacing standard for connecting two channel
(stereo) audio using a single COAX (RCA phono socket) or optical fibre (Toslink
socket) cable.
The SPDIF inputs and outputs are available only when your computer is
connected via the USB port. The computer provides the clocks needed for the
soundcard to function.
Sample rates of up to 96kHz are supported.
