Xlr Output Jacks (Rear); ¼" Output Jacks (Rear) - Art DPS User Manual

XLR OUTPUT JACKS (REAR)

The XLR Output jacks of the DPS are active balanced. You may use
them in an unbalanced configuration without harm to the output
circuitry. The XLR outputs can provide a hefty signal level (+28dBu) at
a low impedance, so make sure that you do not overdrive equipment
with sensitive inputs. When using the DPS™ on the front end of a
mixer, go into the mixer's line in or insert inputs and not necessarily
into the mixer's microphone input, unless the mixer can pad that input's
level.
¼" OU TPUT JACKS (REAR)
The ¼" Output jacks are unbalanced and should be used for sending
signals to amps, processors, or other unbalanced configurations.
Both balanced and unbalanced output connections may be used
simultaneously. This is particularly useful when using the DPS as a
direct box for instruments or line level signals. Make sure that both
pieces of equipment connected to the preamp's outputs are connected
to the same earth ground, beforehand, to avoid electrical shock.
If you experience a grounding hum when using both output connectors
(one to a console, one to an instrument amp) simultaneously, a ground
loop may be the problem. To remedy this problem, disconnect the
ground wire (pin 1) from the XLR cable plugged into the preamp's
output. This interrupts the ground path, and therefore breaks the loop.
S/PDIF COAX OUT (REAR)
The digital coax output jack on the DPS™ is an RCA type that outputs
S/PDIF stereo signals over a coaxial shielded cable. The data format is
S/PDIF stereo 24 bit data at up to 100kHz sampling rate.
