(1) Monitor Outputs 1 & 2

These balanced XLR jacks are line-level analog outputs typically used for connection to a stereo loudspeaker

monitoring system. The signal levels at these outputs are controlled with the Monitor Level knob (7).

The Monitor Outputs can be conﬁgured to use reference levels of +4 dBu or -10 dBV. This function is conﬁgured

in the Outputs panel of the Console Settings window in the Console application.

The Monitor Outputs are completely independent from the 16 analog line outputs. By default, the “1–2” or

“Main” outputs from a DAW are routed to these outputs. Stereo panning of input signals routed to these out-

puts is deﬁned within the Console and/or DAW applications.

NOTE: The AES/ABU outputs can be conﬁgured to mirror the Monitor Outputs. See “(8) AES/EBU Ports”

on page 15 for details.

(2) Line Outputs 1 – 16

The 16 analog outputs are accessed via dual female DB25 connectors. Each DB25 jack carries eight balanced

line-level channel outputs using standardized Tascam wiring.

The Line Outputs can be conﬁgured in adjacent pairs to use -10 dBV or +4 dBu reference levels. This function

is conﬁgured in the Outputs panel of the Console Settings window in the Console application.

(3) Line Inputs 1 – 16

The 16 analog inputs are accessed via dual female DB25 connectors. Each DB25 jack carries eight balanced

line-level channel inputs using standardized Tascam pinouts.

The Line Inputs can be conﬁgured to use -10 dBV or +4 dBu reference levels. This function is conﬁgured within

the input channel strips in the Console application.

Note: See “DB25 Wiring” on page 33 for DB25 connector pinout diagrams.
