Chapter 7: Connecting Your Studio 61
Connecting Audio Sources to
Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack
You can connect both analog and digital audio
signal sources to Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack.
Analog Audio Connections
Digi 002 and Digi 002 Rack have eight analog
inputs, plus two additional inputs for alternate
analog sources, such as a tape deck or CD player.
Microphone-Level Signals
Analog audio signals are output by micro-
phones, synths, mixers, and instruments with
magnetic pickups. Of these sources, micro-
phones and magnetic pickup instruments (such
as electric guitars) output the quietest signals,
and generally require the most amplification.
Digi 002 and Digi 002 Rack include preamps for
these sources on Inputs 1–4, with adjustable
gain and available 48-volt phantom power.
These inputs have both XLR and 1/4-inch con-
nectors; the XLR inputs are specifically for con-
necting microphones, and the 1/4-inch inputs
are for connecting instrument outputs.
Line-Level Signals
Keyboards, preamps, and mixers output line-
level audio, which varies with each device be-
tween the –10 dBV and +4 dBu standards.
You can connect line-level devices to any of
Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack’s Inputs 1–8, as fol-
lows:
Inputs 1–4 Inputs 1–4 have both XLR and 1/4-
inch TRS connectors. The XLR connectors are
for connecting microphones only. The 1/4-inch
TRS connectors are for connecting line-level de-
vices or instruments. Since these inputs have ad-
justable gain, they are especially useful for de-
vices that output low-level signals.
Inputs 5–8 These inputs accept 1/4-inch bal-
anced or unbalanced connections, and can be
switched between –10 dBV and +4 dBu opera-
tion.
Before making any audio connections to
Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack, turn down
Monitor and Headphone levels or mute the
Monitor Output to prevent damage to your
monitoring system.
Mic/Line Inputs 1–4 (back panel)
The XLR connectors on Inputs 1–4 are
wired specifically to match the impedance
of microphones. Do not use these XLR con-
nectors for line inputs; use the 1/4-inch con-
nectors instead.
