4.1.3. Connecting Line Level Equipment
This example shows a setup with both a pair of active speakers (see
) and a pair of headphones (see
) with an extra line-level input
device, for example, a synthesizer.
MASCHINE setup with a line-level device (here a synthesizer) as input.
To use the MASCHINE+ in a setup with typical line level equipment:
1.
Turn the
LINE OUT VOLUME
and
PHONES VOLUME
knobs on the rear panel of your
MASCHINE+ to the left-end stop to set the output and headphones volumes to a minimum.
2.
Plug a pair of 1/4" TRS jacks from the outputs of your device into the
LINE IN 1
and
2
sockets
on the rear panel of the MASCHINE+ (use a single jack plugged into the
LINE IN 1
socket if
you are using a mono device).
3.
Adjust the output signal of your connected device by using its relevant volume/gain control.
Check that your input signal does not clip.
4.
Turn the
LINE OUT VOLUME
and
PHONES VOLUME
knobs back to their usual levels.
In order to use the
LINE IN 1
and
2
sockets on your MASCHINE+, make sure that no
microphone is connected to the
MIC IN
socket nearby! Indeed, plugging a microphone into
the
MIC IN
socket bypasses the
LINE IN 1
and
2
sockets.
4.1.4. Connecting a Dynamic Microphone
This example shows a setup with both a pair of active speakers (see
) and a pair of headphones (see
) with a dynamic microphone,
for example, when recording vocals.
