Line Outputs
iD44 has four line outputs, these can be
used for connecting monitors on the back
panel in the form of balanced TRS jack
connectors. The outputs are impedance
balanced using the same topology as our
flagship console, the ASP8024.
The outputs are fed from high quality
DACs (Digital to Analogue Convertors)
sending clean, linear audio to your
speakers, perfect for critical listening.
You can use these outputs for more
than just speakers. If you want to use
hardware outboard equipment, you
can send out up to four mono, or two
stereo signals from these outputs, This is
configured in the iD mixer software.
In order to keep your audio noise free,
we would reccomend against the use of
unbalanced (TS, RCA.. etc) cables on the
line outputs.
Headphone Output
iD44 features a two high current
headphone amplifiers which are fed by
seperate DAC’s and can be accessed
from the headphone jack on the front of
the unit.
These can be used instead of or
alongside speakers to get an idea how
your mix translates to headphones, or to
provide artist headphone mixes
The headphone outputs can
comfortably drive a wide range of
headphone impedances meaning that
you will get great sounding audio no
matter what model of headphones you
have.
Monitor Control
iD44 provides all of the excellent
monitor control functionality as found
on our consoles.
As such, it is possible to control main and
alternative loudspeaker volumes with
a perfectly matched stereo volume
control on the main unit.
Accompanied by this monitor volume
knob are permanently assigned
hardware DIM & CUT switches. The level
of DIM and ALT. loudspeaker trim can be
adjusted in the iD mixer application.
Alongside these functions, three user
programmable ‘F’ keys provide access
to several useful monitoring features.
Monitor Control Features
Volume control (perfectly matched)
• Alt. loudspeaker with programmable
level (assignable to an ‘F’ key)
• DIM with programmable level
• CUT
• Mono Sum (assignable to an ‘F’ key)
• Polarity reverse (assignable to an ‘F
key)
By using polarity reverse and mono sum
it is possible to listen in sum or dierence
(mid or side) modes. This provides an
excellent way to check mono
compatibility and to also learn spatial
tricks from your favourite reference
material.
