THE ANALOG LINE OUTPUTS
The GSi Gemini features a pair of balanced TRS jack outputs that also support
unbalanced connections. Connect your amplification system to this stereo output
and adjust the output level selector according to your needs.
Obtaining the best performance from the analog outputs
The Gemini features a 3-way switch that lets you select the preferred sound level.
1. L = Low = -10 dB. Use this selection if you are connecting the Gemini to other
-10dB (consumer level) equipment such as a home hi-fi system using
unbalanced cables; this level should also be used if you intend to connect the
Gemini to a guitar or bass amp with a “HI” input (usually dedicated to a
preamplified guitar or bass).
2. M = Middle = +4 dB. Use this selection when connecting the Gemini to a
professional level equipment (mixers, powered amps or speakers, etc.) and
preferably use only balanced cables, which will guarantee a cleaner signal as
well an average of 6 dB gain over unbalanced cables. If you're connecting the
Gemini to a professional mixer, adjust the gain knobs so that the +4 dB input
level is well matched, in order to reduce the noise floor and obtain the highest
S/N ratio possible.
3. H = High = about +10 dB. This selection should only be used when connecting
the Gemini to some very old amplification system with a particularly low input
impedance or weak preamplification. Beware: using this selection with normal
professional or consumer level equipment might increase the sound level as
well as the noise floor, resulting in a noisy or distorted sound.
THE DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
The GSi Gemini stand-alone version features a coaxial S/PDIF format digital audio
output. Connect this output using a standard RCA coaxial cable to your digital
equipment and make sure that it is capable of locking the word-clock from an
external S/PDIF device. The digital audio format used on this connection is Fs =
44100 Hz – 16 bit, no dithering.
