REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION

8. Analog 1/4" TRS Inputs 1 and 2
These are balanced 1/4" TRS Line Inputs and
can be used to connect any line level devices,
such as CD players or DAT recorders.
9. Analog RCA Inputs 1 and 2
These are RCA inputs and can be used to
connect any device like CD players, DAT re-
corders, turntables, and even analog mixers
(taking the signal from a mixer's Record or 2
track outputs).
Important Note: Keep in mind that the two RCA inputs
are completely independent of one another; however
these inputs should not be used if the corresponding
1/4" analog 1 and 2 inputs are used, as doing so would
have quite undesirable results. You can, however, mix
and match these inputs. If, for example, you wanted to
use Input 1's RCA connector and Input 2's 1/4" con-
nector that would not cause any problems.
10. Analog 1/4" TRS Outputs 1 and 2
This are balanced 1/4" TRS Line Outputs with
line level signal (+4dBu). Use them to get a ste-
reo output channel and connect them to active
monitors (such as the Phonic P8A), or perhaps
to an amplifier and a passive pair of speakers.
You could also use them with signal processors,
mixers or other external devices.
11. Analog RCA Outputs 1 and 2
These are RCA line outputs. They accept RCA
cables and can be connected to any external
device that uses RCA connectors. This could
include tape recorders and MP3 recorders.

12. S/PDIF In/Out
These are a standard S/PDIF Digital Audio
Input/Outputs that can be use with digital mix-
ers, DAT recorders, or any external device that
uses this Digital format. The S/PDIF's output
sampling rate is determined by the sampling
rate set by the Firefly control software. Please
use a 75 ohm coaxial cable with RCA plug if you
are using the S/PDIF connection, as the most
common problems associated with glitches in
digital interfaces are the result of using poor
quality cables.
13. MIDI In/Out
You can have 16 simultaneous MIDI input/out-
put channels sent to and from your computer
through the Firefly 302 USB.
14. USB Port
This is a digital USB 2.0 connector that you can
use to connect to your computer. Doing so allows
users to send their audio signal from the Firefly
to the computer, and vise-versa.
15. 9-12VDC Input Power Jack
Connect the supplied DC converter to this jack
to feed the unit. Please only use this DC con-
verter in order to ensure no damage is done to
the Firefly. If for any reason your converter gets
lost or damaged and you need a replacement,
please contact your local Phonic dealer.
16. Power Switch
Use this switch to turn the Firefly 302 USB on
and off.
