Analog Line Output Connectors
The rear of the M-1610 Pro features a 25-pin D-sub connector labeled "LINE OUT" with Tascam®-pinout.
| The short circuit protected, low impedance balanced line outputs at the D-Sub connectors do not operate servo balanced. When connecting unbalanced equipment, make sure pin 3 ("cold") of the output is not connected. A connection to ground may cause a decreased THD (higher distortion) and increased power consumption! |
In addition, the first two analog output channels are available on separate TRS connectors. These outputs have their own driver stage and can be used in combination with the corresponding D-Sub channels. "Analog Out 1, 2" in the output routing controls both the two TRS output channels and the D-Sub channels 1 and 2.
The TRS output stages have a servo balanced design. Therefore unbalanced TS plugs can be used without a difference in output level. This is different from the Phones output in balanced mode, where TS plugs should not be used.
| The maximum output power at the TRS connectors is +19 dBu (balanced and unbalanced). This reference level is also applied when switching output ch. 1, 2 to +24 dBu. The higher reference level is only available at the D-Sub connectors. |
