10 | DANGEROUS MUSIC
Tip: , The DB25 connector adheres to the Tascam Wiring Standard for 8 channels of balanced analog
input. See the wiring diagram in appendix if you’re comfortable with soldering, or just buy an
excellent quality cable with a spiral shield. (Example M3).
12. DC INPUT
Feature: The power supply plugs into this jack.
Benefit: An external power supply allows the unit to run at a cooler temperature.
Operation: Make certain to position it away from sensitive audio components and audio cables.
Tip: , Observe safe power supply etiquette and plug the supply into the D-Box BEFORE plugging it into
the wall.
13. DIGITAL INPUTS
Feature: Both daw & cd connections are digital inputs that feed the D-Box’s D/A converter.
Benefit: Every decision you make is influenced by the monitor section; via headphones or reference monitors.
It had better sound transparent, or you won’t make the right decisions. Monitoring from the same
D/A also allows unbiased mix decisions to be made, unhampered by different converters. Plug your
mp3 player into a digital dock and compare your mix to a reference at the same level, through the
same D/A.
Operation: Connect either an AES or S/PDIF cable and use the front panel controls to select the source (4).
Tip: , The converter will recognize and lock to either AES or S/PDIF sources. Only one digital source may
be monitored at a time. Purchase high quality cables, see examples M1 and M4.
14. SUM OUTPUTS
Feature: This is the stereo output of the 8 summed inputs. The sum switch selects monitoring from here.
