8.8 Analog Outputs
The 8 short circuit protected, low impedance and servo balanced line outputs are available as
(stereo) 1/4" TRS jacks. The electronic output stage is built in a servo balanced design which
handles monaural and stereo jacks correctly. When used unbalanced it automatically corrects
the gain by 6 dB.
To maintain an optimum level for devices connected to the analog outputs the Multiface
includes internal jumpers which allow to change the level of all 8 outputs separately.
As with the analog inputs the analog output levels are defined to maintain a problem-free
operation with most other devices. The headroom of the Multiface lies between 9 and 15 dB,
according to the chosen reference level:
Reference
Hi Gain
+4 dBu
-10 dBV
The device ships with +4 dBu as factory default. The according headroom meets the latest
EBU recommendations for Broadcast usage. At -10 dBV 12 to 15 dB headroom are common
practice, each mixing desk operating at -10 dBV is able to send and receive much higher
levels. Lo Gain allows to work with high levels, best suited for professional users who prefer to
work balanced and at highest levels.
Information on how to change the jumpers can be found in chapter 9.3.
