M-Audio Dman 2044 Manual page 8

Normal connections to these jacks would be from the unbalanced
outputs of a musical instrument, mixer, mic preamp, CD-ROM play-
er, or the recording outs of an instrument amplifier.
HINT: In stereo systems, typically IN1/IN2 are treated as a stereo pair,
and IN3/IN4 as another pair.
2. OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4. Mono audio output jacks. Each output
is unbalanced and capable of a 2 Vrms full-scale output signal. Normally
these jacks would be connected via shielded cables to an external mixer,
amplifier and speakers; self-powered multimedia speakers; or a DAT or
other stereo mixdown recorder.
HINT: In stereo systems, typically OUT1/OUT2 are treated as a stereo
pair, and OUT3/OUT4 as another pair.
Connect your external audio device(s) according to the steps below (also
see the figure below for an example system setup):
1. Turn off your computer. To avoid potential audio "pops", it is also a
good idea to turn off the external audio device(s) before connecting
to the DMAN 2044.
2. Connect one or more of the DMAN 2044 output jacks to unbalanced
input(s) of your mixer, amplifier, multimedia speakers, or whatever
else you may be using to amplify and listen to the audio signals.
Depending on the types of jacks used throughout your system, you
may need to purchase converter cables or jacks in order to make the
proper connections. These can be obtained from your local musical
dealer or consumer electronics store.
3. Connect the outputs of your musical instrument, tape send of your
mixer, or Line Out of some other audio source, to one or more of the
DMAN 2044 input jacks.
4. You may now turn on your computer, then the external audio
device(s).
IMPORTANT: Although the DMAN 2044 has been carefully designed
to minimize noise and/or pops while the computer is being powered
up, we recommend you turn off or turn down your connected audio
equipment until the computer has completely powered up and begun
to display information to its video monitor. This will prevent poten-
tial damage to your external audio devices.
