1.2 What is the analog audio interface?
The analog audio interface is a high quality external audio
interface (Tascam US-100) which is connected to your Casa-
blanca device via a USB port, making it possible to record
sounds from analog sources (record player, tape device,
microphone...).
To do this, the audio interface offers numerous connection
possibilities:
• Symmetrical microphone input (XLR or TRS)
• Guitar input (TRS)
• Asymmetrical stereo line input (cinch) which can be switched
to RIAA-phono
The Casablanca device can also reproduce its sound via the
audio interface. For this, an asymmetrical stereo line output
(cinch) and an adjustable headphones connection (mini-TRS)
are included.
Note: In addition to this manual, the original user manual for
the Tascam US-100 will also be supplied with the interface. In
it, you will find comprehensive information and descriptions of
the connections and controls.
2. Operation of the analog audio
interface
2.1 Requirements
To be able to use the analog audio interface, you need Bogart
SE from version 5.x or higher.
In addition, you also have to license and activate the “Analog
Audio Interface” product.
You will obtain the license together with the hardware from
your specialized dealer or from the MacroSystem Online shop
which you can reach via our website.
2.2 Connecting and configuring the
hardware
Connect the Tascam US-100 analog audio interface with your
Casablanca system using the supplied USB cable. The device
receives power from the Casablanca via the USB connection.
An extra power connection is therefore unnecessary.
You can the connect the desired analog audio source to the
Tascam US-100.
The device has two different microphone connections that can
be used as desired, a stereo cinch input and a stereo cinch
output. The sliding switch at the back is used to select the
analog input (microphone or cinch). A special feature is the
connection for a record player, which normally is also done
via the cinch connection. Because the impedance is different
in this case, it is necessary to select “Phono” with the slide
switch.
