5.2 Connection Examples
Line Inputs
MAYA44 eX has two stereo line inputs (INPUT
1/2 and INPUT 3/4) that can be connected to any
device with regular unbalanced -10dBv line output
such as the output of a mixing console, a CD or
MD player, a sound module, a keyboard with
sound engine, a synthesizer or others.
Instrument and Microphone Inputs
MAYA44 eX has a built in professional microphone
preamp with +48V phantom power support. You can
connect a dynamic microphone as well as a condenser
microphone to the top input. INPUT 1/2 has to be
switched to accept microphone signals in the Control
Panel (see chapter 6 of this manual). If you use a
condenser microphone, you need to enable +48V in the
Control Panel as well. Please make sure to use a fully
balanced XLR to TRS microphone cable.
In addition, MAYA44 eX has a Hi-Z instrument input that can be used for a direct connection to an
electric guitar. INPUT 3/4 has to be switched to accept guitar signals in Control Panel (see chapter 6
of this manual). Note that the input signal will be mono only.
Line and Headphone Outputs
The MAYA44 eX stereo line outputs (OUTPUT 1/2 and
OUTPUT 3/4) can be connected to external devices with
line input such as multi track recorders, a HiFi stereo
system, active monitoring speakers, a power amplifier or
analog mixing consoles. As the two stereo output pairs
are totally independent, they can be connected to
different channel of a mixer or to different devices
altogether and different audio signals can be sent out to
them simultaneously. This is especially nice in situations
where you need two independent stereo signals, for
example in a DJ setup for the main and pre-listen signal.
In addition, both stereo line outputs can be enabled used
as headphone outputs.
