Headphone Source
16 E-MU Systems
HEADPHONE SOURCE
The stereo headphone output can either duplicate the main outputs, or it can be
used as another completely independent pair of outputs when using ASIO. This
setting is controlled from the 0204 Control Panel. The headphone output is a high-
quality signal, with increased power for driving headphones.
With the Headphone Source set to Main Out 1/2, the headphone output duplicates
the signal on the main outputs. With the Headphone Source set to Aux 3/4, the
headphone output receives its signal from outputs 3/4 of your software appli-
cation.
Headphones Duplicate Main Outputs (Headphone Source = Main Out 1/2)
This is the setting you’ll normally want if you’re only using one pair of outputs,
such as stereo recording/playback or listening to music. This is the default setting.
Separate Headphone Mix
By selecting Headphone Source Aux 3/4, you can create a separate headphone mix
for live performance or while recording.
Two Additional Outputs
With an appropriate cable adapter (see
page 23 ), the headphone output becomes
another pair of signal outputs (3/4). The headphone signal is of the same excep-
tional quality as the main outputs with the addition of an analog volume control.
Note: At the highest sample rates (176.4/192 kHz), the Headphone Source feature
is disabled. In this case, the headphone output duplicates the main outputs.
The Headphone Source feature is also disabled when using WDM on a Windows
computer. In this case, setting the Headphone Source to Aux 3/4 will turn off the
headphone output.
