Rear Side: Connections
Speakers (Speaker A - D)
The DMC offers four different loudspeaker outputs. Three stereo output pairs and a mono
output. All four outputs are balanced and provide male XLR connection jacks. Speakers
A and C are perfectly suited for connecting different stereo loudspeakers. You can (for
example) connect a mono speaker to Speaker D. With the Speaker buttons on the front of
the DMC you can activate an output simultaneously at a time. The level of the output sig-
nal can be controlled via the big Monitoring Level pot on the front of the DMC.
Sub
It is possible to connect a subwoofer to the Sub output. You can run this output in addi-
tion to the selected speaker (Speaker A to D). The level can also be controlled with the big
Monitoring Level pot. Sub is a mono and balanced output and provides a male XLR jack.
Phonitor / HP Out
Beside the loudspeaker outputs, the DMC offers an extra output for an headphone ampli-
fier, e.g. a device of the SPL Phonitor series. This stereo output is balanced and imple-
mented as two male XLR jacks.
Metering Outputs
To connect external metering tools to the DMC, the device provides two metering outputs
on the rear of the DMC. Both are balanced and implemented as two male XLR jacks. One of
the metering outputs is a stereo output (L/R), the other is a mono output (Mono). The sig-
nal which is at the Metering Outputs is always the signal which is sent to the Monitoring
section. Thus Recording Output, Sources or Direct Input (see page 21).
GPI
In addition to that, the DMC Mastering Console also provides a GPI output. GPI stands for
General Purpose Interface. It is possible to operate with voltages up to 24V with this TRS
jack plug. The jack plug features the following allocations:
Tip sleeve: Closed
Ring sleeve: Open
This provides the possibility to e.g. run a Talkback or a Red Light.
