3. External Connections

The WT2496 has many features that can enhance your audio production environment. If you
are serious about your digital audio, you may want to take time to read through this section
carefully. While you may not need all of these features, and simply opt to plug in the cables to
get started right away, you should at least be aware of the WT2496's capabilities – in case you
need them later on.

Shown below is just one of many possible connection schemes for the WT2496. In a typical
audio production studio or workstation, where you have both digital and analog devices, this
setup treats your PC as a stereo master recorder. In this case, monitoring of the WT2496 will
be similar to "through-the-tape" monitoring, where you monitor your input and output sources
from the tape recorder's point.
If you plan to use the WT2496 in a digital mastering environment, you may choose to
connect the analog outputs of the WT2496 directly to your power amplifier's inputs instead of
sending it through the console/mixer.
