1. ANALOG INPUTS
Feature: Analog Input 1 is on XLR / TRS combination connectors.
Benefit: Use gear with XLR balanced connectors, or TRS balanced connectors or TS unbalanced connectors.
Use:
Connect audio feeds here, for example, the outputs of your computer interface, keyboard, guitar rack, sampler.
Feature: Analog Input 2 is on an 1/8” mini TRS connector.
Benefit: Compatible with portable playback devices.
Use:
Plug in your iPod, SmartPhone, computer output etc... here.
Note: This input is set to unity gain for an iPhone. There is a header internally for setting it to a true -10 dBv.
Tip:
,
Cables DO make a difference. Ask for Mogami interconnects.
2. DIGITAL INPUT
[

]
Feature: Digital input available on XLR / TRS combination connector.
Benefit: Use either AES or SPDIF coaxial, just get a properly wired cable (i.e. RCA-XLRM)
Note:
SPDIF = 75 ohms, AES = 110 ohms. The origin, not the destination, will dictate the whether to use SPDIF or AES. In other
words, if your interface is outputting SPDIF, then use 75 ohm cable. If it’s outputting AES, use 110 ohm cable.
Use: Take the digital output from your computer interface and connect it here to monitor through the mastering quality D/A
converter. This will provide an extremely accurate, yet musical representation of your audio that will translate across
multiple systems (i.e. iPod, car stereo, home hi-fi...)
