Digital interfaces
MiCO includes as standard, high quality
analogue to digital convertors supporting
sample rates up to 192kHz (external WC
only). AeS/eBU connectivity is provided
on 3 pin XLr, whilst S/PDIF is available on
both Phono and TOSLINK connections.
Internally, MiCO supports sample rates
of 44.1, 48 and 96kHz, with sample rate
selection available on the rear panel
DIP switches. Higher sample rates are
supported when MiCO is slaved to a
master word clock connection via the
BNC Word Clock input.
MiCO is configured to achieve optium
performance on each of the digital
interface formats provided.
To ensure compatibility is not
compromised it is recommended that the
AeS output is disconnected when using
the SPDIF or TOSLINK connections.
Analogue interfaces
MiCO has been designed and developed
to enable easy integration with a wide
range of systems.
Inputs and outputs use advanced
electronically balanced topologies and
are fitted with extensive rFI rejection
networks. This means signal integrity
will be maintained from the input stage
through to the output stage.
Pin conventions
electronically balanced microphone and
line level inputs are provided on 3 pin
XLr Neutrik Combo female connectors
with Pin 2 hot and Pin 3 cold. Pin 1
is permanently connected to MiCO
chassis.
Balanced line inputs are provided on
Neutrik
Combo connectors which
accept either 1/4” jack or XLr allowing
Variphase and HMX to be available in
either tracking or mix situation.
A front panel high impedance,
unbalanced DI input is also provided
on channel 1 to allow instruments to
be directly connected to MiCO. This
provides a great way to record bass or
electric guitar by plugging straight in.
electronically balanced outputs are
available on 3 Pin male XLr connectors.
