plugged into the loop return, POD

XT Pro is smart enough to see this and disable the

loop so you still get sound. See page 3•12 for more details.

Unbalanced Analog Out - The display pages of the I/O & DIG

SELECT button configure these outputs for Studio or Live Use. In Studio Mode,

they’re ready to plug into a recorder with unbalanced –10 dBV inputs. In Live Mode,

they don’t have speaker simulation, and are ready for connection to an onstage power

amp. Whichever you choose, the front panel Output knob determines how much

signal you’ll get at these jacks. You can use either jack as a mono output, by the way.

Balanced Analog Out - The I/O & DIG SELECT button display

“pages” configure these outputs for Studio or Live Use. In Studio Mode, they’re ready to

plug into a recorder with balanced +4 dBu inputs. In Live Mode, they’re ready to send

great sounding –10dBV signals to the house sound system or P.A. The front panel

Output knob does not affect the volume at these jacks in Live Mode. This lets you

make onstage adjustments to your volume without affecting the P.A.’s levels.

Ground - This switch lets you lift the grounds of PODXT Pro’s XLR Balanced

Analog Outs. This can be handy if you get an audible hum caused by a ground loop

when connecting to other grounded equipment.

AES/EBU & S/PDIF Inputs & Outputs - These jacks send and

receive digital audio signals. The display “pages” of the I/O & DIG SELECT button

choose which of these connections to use, along with sample rate, word length

(“bits”) and other details. You can use digital input at the same time as analog output,

or analog output as the same time as digital input, or any combination. You can even

send digital audio into POD

XT Pro with one rate and word length, and choose a

different rate and word length for output.

POD

XT Pro does not include a separate clock connector, but it can clock to the digital

audio being received at either of its digital inputs, even if you are using an analog input

to get audio into your POD

XT Pro. You can, for instance, connect a digital output from

your digital mixer POD

XT Pro’s S/PDIF input, press the I/O & DIG SELECT button

, set the

FORMAT to MATCH SPDIF , and PODxt Pro will clock to your mixer.

PODxt Pro will also format the digital audio it outputs to match the incoming format.
