Analog Audio Inputs
Eleven Rack features three types of analog in-
puts that can be used with Pro Tools. There is a
dedicated guitar (instrument-level) input, a ste-
reo line input, and a mic-level input. All three
are available as inputs for recording in Pro Tools.
You can route one of those inputs through the
Rig at a time, and route the output of the Rig to
Pro Tools. For more info on selecting the input
that feeds the rig, see “Rig Input” on page 90.
Connecting Your Guitar
Use the Guitar input for instruments (such as
electric guitar or electric bass) that usually have
a lower level of output than line level instru-
ments.
To connect a guitar or other instrument-level
device to Eleven Rack:
Connect your instrument to the Guitar input
on the front panel of Eleven Rack using a stan-
dard 1/4-inch TS guitar cable.
Connecting Line-Level Devices
Use the Line inputs for line level devices (such as
keyboards, mixers, and mic preamps).
To connect a keyboard, mixer or other line-level
device to Eleven Rack:
1 Plug your device into the Line inputs on the
back panel of Eleven Rack using one or two stan-
dard 1/4-inch (TRS or TS) cables. If the device is
mono, plug it into one of the Line inputs. If the
device is stereo, plug it into both the left and
right Line inputs with two cables.
2 Set your device’s output volume to its optimal
level. For example, the optimal level for most
keyboards is between 80% and 100% of maxi-
mum volume.
3 If your device has unbalanced (TS) outputs, set
the line inputs on Eleven Rack to –10 dVB by
toggling the Level switch between the Line in-
put jacks to its outward position. If your device
has balanced (TRS) outputs, set the Line inputs
to +4 dVB by toggling the Level switch to its in-
ward position.
Connecting a Microphone to
Eleven Rack
Eleven Rack provides an XLR mic input. It can
accept a microphone, DI box, or any other
mic-level device.
To ensure you hear your audio when using
Eleven Rack as a standalone signal proces-
sor, be sure to set the Rig Input User Option
to the type of input you plan to use (Guitar,
Mic, Line).
