FRONT PANEL

ANALOG COMBO INPUTS

The Q10 has eight analog inputs located on the front of the interface
box. (An additional S/PDIF digital input is located on the back, we'll get
to that later)
The inputs are designed to accept either 1/4" line level signals, such as
the output of mixers, synthesizer, and drum machine, or direct
connection of XLR Microphones.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect XLR line level outputs to the Q10.
• The 1/4 " inputs accept both balanced (+4dBu) and unbalanced
(-10dBv) signals. The Q10 control panel allows you to configure each
input to accommodate balanced or unbalanced, allowing use of
balanced and unbalanced gear at the same time.
• The XLR inputs are designed specifically for use with microphones.
Some line level devices such as mixers or synthesizers have XLR
outputs. The Q10 XLR inputs are not intended for use with these
devices, and potential damage can occur. The XLR inputs will work
with any microphone.
NOTE: You may use any combination of 1/4" line level or XLR mic for
any of the 8 inputs.
Each DIRECT PRO Q10 input is mono. If you want to connect a stereo
device such as a synthesizer or CD player, you must use two inputs.
