RCA- This type of connector usually comes in colored stereo pairs, where the white connector is
the left side and the red connector is the right side. These are commonly used for
connecting to speakers or unbalanced devices. There are two sets of RCA
connectors on your INSPIRE 1394, one for speaker outputs and another for
inputs 3/4.
Sample Rate- This refers to the number of samples per second you are recording of the waveform
(eg; 44,100 samples per second). You will notice an increase in audio fidelity the higher the
sample rate is set. This must match the sample rate setting in your recording software.
For PC: Drop down the sample rate menu in the INSPIRE 1394 Control Panel to select
the sample rate– 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96k.
For Mac: Open AMS and look at the properties for the INSPIRE 1394. Change the
format to select the sample rate– 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96k.
XLR -This is the type of connector commonly used with microphones and other balanced devices
(all XLR cables are balanced and have hum cancellation properties). The
female connector will typically connect to a microphone and the male
connector will typically connect to a preamp. There are two XLR inputs on
the front panel of your INSPIRE 1394.
