Line - Headphones
The HDSPe AoX-D offers a hi-quality analog monitor output. The short circuit protected stereo line output provides high output level, low impedance, and is available via a 6.3 mm (1/4") TRS jack. Therefore it is also suitable for a direct use with headphones.
The analog output receives its signal from any of the host computers 512 software playback channels or any TotalMix submix. The channel can be selected in the Settings Dialog.
The headphone outputs are DC-coupled, ensuring a flat frequency response down to 0 Hz. This also allows the outputs to be used as sources for control voltages (CV) in external equipment such as synthesizers.
| Connecting headphones while a DC signal is present can cause permanent damage to the drivers. Always verify the routing in TotalMix before attaching headphones. |
The analog output does not include speaker protection. When switching the computer on and off, noise may occur at the analog outputs.
In case the output should operate as line out, an adapter TRS plug to RCA phono plugs, or TRS plug to TS plugs is required.
The pin assignment follows international standards. The left channel is connected to the tip, the right channel to the ring of the TRS jack/plug.
