[. . . ] The gain for these inputs can also be set using the gain controls on the front panel. Insert 1/2, external effects such as compressors can be inserted into the recording path upstream of the A/D converter via these 1/4" stereo jack sockets. Practical tip: While recording, try to achieve as high a recording level as possible to get the greatest benefit from the wide dynamic range of the 24-bit converter. Always remember that a clean take is far more valuable than the best corrective plugin. 15. Main 1/2, analog mono outputs 1/2; the connections have been realized as balanced 1/4" jack sockets. Unbalanced cables can also be plugged into the outputs, of course. The analog outputs operate with music-compatible levels of 2. 0 Vrms. Here, you can connect a mixing card, active speakers, or amplifiers. Monitor 3/4, analog mono outputs 3/4; the connections have been realized as balanced 1/4" jack sockets. Unbalanced cables can also be plugged into the outputs, of course. Digital In, to record digital audio data with your computer, use the digital input of the PHASE X24 FW. The interface can receive sample rates of up to 24-bit / 96 . When recording from a digital source, make sure that the sampling rates of both devices (e. g. DAT recorder and laptop) are synchronized. The S/PDIF protocol contains a signal for this purpose. If such a signal is applied to the digital input and the Master Clock switch is set to "External", the PHASE X24 FW will automatically synchronize to it and the "Digital In" channel will be available in the mixer. ASIO applications such as Cubase SX often have an option to switch the hardware from an internal to an external (sometimes also called S/PDIF) clock source. This 20 PHASE X24 (English) changeover currently has no effect on the PHASE X24 FW. The switch to an external clock is not to be confused with external synchronization to MIDI devices, video equipment or tape decks and therefore cannot be found in the Sync, MIDI Clock, MTC or SMPTE settings of the applications. Digital Out, use the digital output of your PHASE X24 FW to transfer music digitally from your computer to other devices. The interface can send sample rates of up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. For playback, set the routing in the Control Panel to the digital output. [. . . ] A separate fader is available for each mono channel. The individual channels can be joined using the switchable stereo link function. The "Mute" buttons can be used to mute the individual channels. This section of the Control Panel can also be controlled completely via the Master control on the front panel, in case you ever lose the Control Panel under dozens of overlapping windows ;-) PHASE X24 (English) 29 The ASIO panel To open the ASIO panel, click the "ASIO" button (on the bottom left side of the PHASE Control Panel).
