Korg 1212 I/O 9
English
❶
Stereo analog input
This input is used to bring analog signals into the 1212 I/O. You can
connect this to the output of a mixer, microphone pre-amp, synthesizer,
and so on. To allow use with a wide range of equipment, the analog input
may be configured for either +4 dBu or -10 dBV signal levels. For more
information, please see “Analog levels: +4 or -10” on page 3.
Microphones and electric guitar outputs should be sent through a mixer or
pre-amp first, to bring them up to +4 or -10 levels; otherwise, their signals
will be too weak.
The analog input uses a 1/4” TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connector to carry a
stereo, unbalanced signal. The tip carries the right side, the ring carries the
left side, and the sleeve carries the ground. You can use standard “insert”
cables to bring the signals out to a pair of 1/4” mono connectors.

Stereo analog output
This connector is used to bring analog signals out of the 1212 I/O, into
your mixer, amplifier, etc. To allow use with a wide range of equipment, the
analog output may be configured for either +4 dBu or -10 dBV signal levels.
For more information, please see “Analog levels: +4 or -10” on page 3.
As with the analog inputs, described above, the output uses a 1/4” TRS
(tip-ring-sleeve) connector to carry a stereo, unbalanced signal. The tip
carries the right side, the ring carries the left side, and the sleeve carries the
ground. You can use standard “insert” cables to bring the signals out to a
pair of 1/4” mono connectors.
❸ ADAT optical input
The ADAT optical input carries eight channels of digital audio. You can
connect this to the digital output of any multitrack recorder, digital mixer,
effects processor, or other digital audio device which supports the ADAT
optical format.
You can also connect this to the SoundLink DRS 880 A/D Audio Interface,
which will provide the 1212 I/O with eight additional analog inputs.
❹ ADAT optical output
The ADAT optical output carries eight channels of digital audio. You can
connect this to the digital input of any multitrack recorder, digital mixer,
effects processor, or other digital audio device which supports the ADAT
optical format.
You can also connect this to the SoundLink DRS 880 D/A Audio Interface,
which will provide the 1212 I/O with eight additional analog outputs.
❺ S/PDIF breakout connector
This connector should only be used with the special S/PDIF breakout cable
included with the 1212 I/O. This cable has a 4-pin mini-DIN connector at
