1. Line Inputs. This pair of RCA jacks receives stereo line-level audio from
the outside world. Both inputs are high-impedance and are designed for
use at -10dBV nominal levels. They can handle peak signals of up to
+6dBV (2 Vrms). Typical connections to these jacks are line-level outputs
of a mixer or external microphone preamp, the recording outs of an instru-
ment amplifier or the line outs of a tape deck.
NOTE: The Line Inputs are not designed for direct connection to micro-
phones. In order to use a microphone with the DMAN PCI, you will need to
connect it through either a microphone preamp (such as the Midiman
“Audio Buddy”) or a mixer (such as the Midiman “MiXiM 10”).
2. Line Outputs. This pair of RCA jacks outputs stereo line-level audio to the
outside world. The output signals are designed for -10dBV nominal levels,
with peak output of up to +6dBV (2 Vrms). Normally these jacks would be
connected to an external amplifier and speakers, self-powered multimedia
speakers, a DAT or other stereo mix-down recorder.
3. MIDI Interface Connector. This connector attaches to the included MIDI
Interface Cable to provide standard MIDI Input and Output connectors
