Connecting Stereo Recorders and Sound Sources
C control Inputs
The C control features four 2-track /Stereo inputs for connecting a variety of sounds sources including the
output of the main mixing console or computer sound card, a DAT recorder, Open Reel Half-track (dust them
off, they still sound great), Cassette recorder, CD player, MIDI workstation or sub mixers to name some. Each
of the C controls stereo inputs can be turned on or off from the front panel assign switches. For added flexibil-
ity, it is possible to have any or all of the 2-track /Stereo inputs on at the same time. This is particularly useful
when connecting the outputs of a main mixing console or computer sound card, and the outputs of a sub-
mixer or MIDI workstation allowing you to monitor both sound sources and control them as if they were one.
Because the C control provides many inputs and outputs for connecting your gear, there are many ways the
unit can be interfaced. The following section describes the 2-track /Stereo inputs and how they can be used
with equipment commonly found in a recording studio. There is also a “Typical Set-up” diagram on page 15 of
this manual and a wiring guide on page 17 to help you choose the correct cables for your set-up.
MIX Inputs
The MIX inputs are C control’s main Left and Right stereo inputs. These inputs are balanced, 1/4-inch, TRS (Tip/
Ring/ Sleeve) phone connectors which accept +4dB line level
sources. You should connect the outputs of your mixing console
or computer sound card here.
2-track A Inputs
The 2-Track A inputs are balanced, 1/4-inch, TRS (Tip/ Ring/
Sleeve) phone connectors which accept +4dB line level sources.
You can interface a professional DAT machine or CD recorder
here.
2-track B Inputs
The inputs labeled 2-Track B are balanced 1/4 inch,TRS (Tip/Ring/Sleeve) connectors which accept +4dB line
level sources. You can connect the outputs of a sub mixer, a professional DAT machine, or a CD recorder here.
2-track C Inputs
The 2-Track C inputs are unbalanced, RCA connectors which accept -10dB line level sources. You can connect
the outputs of a sub mixer, cassette recorder or CD player here.
