Analog Inputs
The 96i I/O has 16 balanced, 1/4-inch TRS con-
nectors for analog audio input connections.
Inputs 1–4 provide six stages of software-ad-
justable operating level sensitivity. Choices
range from –12.0 dB(V) to +4.0 dBu, with de-
fault sensitivity set to –8 dB(V).
Inputs 5–16 are software-switchable between
–8 dBV and +4 dBu operating level sensitivity.
The 96i I/O inputs can accommodate a wide
range of line-level devices including synthesiz-
ers, samplers, sound modules, and effects de-
vices.
All analog inputs are balanced, and feature
24-bit, 96 kHz analog-to-digital converters, with
14 dB of headroom above +4 dBu (fixed, requir-
ing no calibration). Unbalanced connections are
supported with the use of standard 1/4-inch
mono phone plugs.

Analog Outputs
The 96i I/O has two balanced, 1/4-inch TRS
jacks for analog audio output connections.
The 96i I/O analog outputs feature 24-bit digi-
tal-to-analog converters. Output operating lev-
els are software-switchable between +4 dBu and
–10 dB(V) operating levels.
The 96i I/O is factory calibrated at +14 dB head-
room, yielding a maximum output level of
+18 dBu when in +4 dBu operating mode. When
set to –10 dB(V) operating mode, maximum
output level is +4 dBV.
Unbalanced connections are supported with the
use of standard 1/4-inch mono phone plugs.
