If you prefer to use the digital output of the Alpha Channel to interface with your DAW but also need the
analogue monitoring capabilities..
Whilst recording a vocalist wishes to hear the vocals with some added reverb and some EQ. The engi-
neer, however is not keen to record with these processes on the signal, but prefers to record the unproc-
essed, dry signal coming from the Alpha channel. In this situation the engineer wants to use his own A/D
converters, so for now the digital connections of the Alpha Channel will be ignored.
The diagram below shows a typical set up for this situation.
The left hand side of the S/PDIF output is identical to the signal appearing at the analogue output.
