REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

• The XLR jacks have been magically transformed into a pair of mic level
outputs with ground lift, suitable for plugging into the typical on-stage mic
snake to feed your direct signal to the house mix or P.A. This signal’s
specially-tuned speaker simulation gives you perfect sound without having
to hassel with mics on your speaker cabinets – plus the signal bleed and
other challenges that come with them. Remember this signal is mic level,
so you’ll want to connect it to a mic level (not line level) input on the
house mixer or P.A.
Digital Outputs and Clock - Your POD includes connections for both
AES/EBU and S/PDIF format 24 bit digital output. Use these to track your POD
direct to your digital input recording system (note that the loop does not affect the
digital outputs).
The External Digital Clock In connector receives a clock signal from your
digital mixer or recorder, synchronizing POD’s digital output to your system. POD’s
front panel Digital Sync switch determines its output sample rate (44.1KHz or
48KHz), and whether it will sync its output to the external clock source (in that
case, the sample rate syncs to the sample rate of the incoming digital clock).
Please see your digital mixer/recorder documentation for information on
configuring its digital clock. The Line 6 technical support crew, though they may
be friendly, talented, and always eager to please, won’t be able to instruct you on
how to configure your entire studio worth of new digital recording equipment, and
tell you why your digital audio program conflicts with your financial management
software. Nevertheless, we don’t want you floundering around in there all by
yourself, so here are a couple handy tips that should allow you to incorporate your
POD in an already-configured studio:
Generally, you’re gonna have one of two situations:
• Situation Number Uno – If your digital recorder/mixer has a clock output
– like on a Digidesign Pro Tools 888, a MOTU 2408, a Yamaha 02R digital
