SoundSystem DMX 31
!
Line Input.
The line input operates with normal "HiFi signals" of approx. 1Vrms.
Here you can connect, for example, the TAPE Record output of your
amplifier or the AUX path of your mixing unit.
The Basics.
Analog audio sources such as cassette players, video recorders, or record players can be
recorded via the input labeled IN on your SoundSystem DMX.
LINE
The connection is made using a mini-jack bush (3.5mm stereo jack) which you connect to the
TAPE Record output of your amplifier or the AUX SEND path of a mixing unit, for example. The
input sensitivity can be adjustable and is suited for "normal line signals" (the exact
specification is listed in the appendix). Microphones are connect to the input labeled MIC on
the DMX (see below) and digital devices should be connected at the digital input designed for
them located on the SoundSystem.
When recording, select the recording source "Line" in the DMX ControlPanel under "Record".
Safety Tip.
Please remember to switch off all (analog) devices before connecting
them. This is to avoid the danger of electrical shock - even a weak one
- it also protects your speaker membranes and your hearing from
sudden signal spikes. For digital devices, the volume of your playback
system should at least be turned to low.
Connecting and Recording from a Record Player.
At the moment, it is very "hip" to archive and restore vinyl or shellacrecordings. With the
SoundSystem DMX you are well-equipped to make high-quality audio recordings. It also
contains recording and editing software. When connecting record players, there are a few
particulars that you need to know and we will tell you about them in the following.
You cannot directly connect a record player to a sound card such as the DMX because record
players – technically limited by the acceptance system – send out a useful signal that is too
low and extremely unbalanced. Therefore it is necessary to attached an amplifier between the
two devices (HiFi amplifier or a special audio amplifier with an optimized equalizer). If you are
