Audio Modes
Balanced: provides a full-scale output of
24 dBu and is designed for professional
balanced app
lications
Unbalanced: Designed to drive the
unbalanced inputs of consumer amplifiers, in
whichcaset
he negative output pin must be
grounded
Audio Sources
The channel
s routed to the line outputs may
include: Embedded audio source, AES audio
source, Analog audio source, and Decoded
Dolby
Number of C
hannels
Provides up to eight channels
Output Co
nnections
Balanced, unterminated via rear panel
connecto
r
62 pin, 3 row, DSUB connector, but only 2
rows of 42 pins are connected
Ground n
egative output to support
unbalanced mode
Maximum Output Levels
+24 dBu ±
0.5 dBu
When one
output is grounded to achieve
unbalanced mode, the outher output will be
driven to a larger amplitude. You c an reduce
the lev
el by adding attenuation in the Audio
Settings menu. Do not exceed the maximum
rated output power in either mode
