Power Switch: the power switch has three positions. If the switch is in the middle position (OFF),
DuaFire is turned off. If the switch is set to BUS., DuaFire will take its power from the computer
(bus powered operation). This requires a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable. If the switch is set to EXT.,
DuaFire gets powered by an external power supply connected to the DC IN port.
Output 1 / 2: the first output pair is provided with 1/4" TRS connectors. Use these line outputs to
connect DuaFire to your mixing desk, monitoring speakers or other studio equipment.
Output 3 / 4: the second output pair is provided with RCA connectors. Use these unbalanced line
outputs to connect DuaFire to other studio or HiFi equipment.
Line / Phono Switch: the LINE / PHONO switch allows you to switch between line level and
phono level inputs.
Inputs 1 / 2: In addition to the XLR and 1/4" connectors on the front panel, DuaFire also provides
RCA inputs for phono signals on the back panel. Please note that these inputs cannot be used
simultaneously as the inputs on the front panel. To use the phono inputs, the LINE / PHONO
switch must be set to phono.
Ground Connector: if you are using the phono inputs and have them directly connected to a turn
table, please connect this ground connector to ground to avoid humming.
