The Microdock - E-Mu 1212M Owner's Manual

The MicroDock

The MicroDock connects to the E-MU 1010 PCI card via the EDI cable.
The MicroDock provides (4) balanced analog inputs, (2) microphone preamp inputs,
(6) balanced line-level analog outputs, (3) stereo 1/8" outputs for connecting powered
computer speakers, (2) MIDI inputs, (2) MIDI outputs, a stereo headphone output,
and a RIAA equalized turntable preamp section which is "normalled" into line input 2L
and 2R, 8 channels of ADAT digital input/output, and stereo S/PDIF digital input/
output.

The inputs are configured as follows:
(2) mono microphone/line inputs (2 inputs)
(2) stereo pairs of line level inputs (4 inputs)
(1) stereo pair of S/PDIF/AES digital inputs (2 inputs)
(4) stereo pairs of ADAT channels on the ADAT optical input (8 inputs)
(1) RIAA equalized turntable preamp input allows you to connect a turntable
without using an expensive external preamp. Note: These inputs are automati-
cally disconnected when plugs are inserted into inputs 2L & 2R.
(2) MIDI input ports using the supplied breakout cable
The outputs are configured as:
(3) Stereo pairs of line level outputs
(1) Stereo pair driving a stereo headphone jack (Share the same routing as Line
Outs 1L/1R)
(1) Stereo pair of S/PDIF/AES digital outputs
(4) Stereo pairs of ADAT channels on the ADAT optical output
(3) Stereo 1/8" computer speaker outputs. These outputs carry the same signals as
the 3 stereo line level outputs and are provided as a convenience for connecting
computer or powered speaker systems.
(2) MIDI output ports using the supplied breakout cable

The MicroDock is
completely "hot
pluggable"— It' s OK to
plug or unplug the
MicroDock while the
computer is turned on.
It' s a good idea to mute
MicroDock inputs 2 in the
PatchMix DSP mixer when
nothing is plugged in,
since the turntable preamp
has a very high gain
(60dB) and could
contribute extra noise to
48 VDC your mix/monitor bus.

Important:
When the Sync Card is
installed, MIDI 2 on the
MicroDock is disabled.
(This is because MTC is
using the MIDI port.)
