Setting Up the Analog Audio Output for Surround Sound Audio (Avid
Nitris DX and Avid Mojo DX Only)
Depending on the Avid input/output hardware attached to your system, you can have two
balanced TRS audio outputs labeled Monitor and four balanced XLR audio outputs labeled
Analog. The TRS outputs are always left and right speakers. You can configure the XLR outputs
in the Output tab of the Audio Project Settings dialog box.
If your workflow requires analog output to a tape deck, you configure the XLR outputs to
connect to a deck. You see these channels, 1 through 4, in the Direct Out Channel Menu map in
the Output tab of the Audio Project Settings dialog box.
If your workflow does not require analog output to a tape deck, you can use the XLR outputs to
provide Center, LFE, Left Rear and Right Rear channels for desktop monitoring.
When the analog output is marked for use as desktop surround monitors, you should set the
audio connectors as shown in the following table.

TRS Channel 1 Left Front
TRS Channel 2 Right Front
