Caution: This chapter is for Waveterminal 192X only
Basically, Waveterminal 192X is a digital audio interface with analog 2 channel (stereo)
input, analog 6 channel output and Digital stereo Optical output.
Also with optional MI/ODI/O add-on card, you can add SPDIF Optical Input, SPDIF
Coaxial In/Out and 1 In/1 Out MIDI interface.
1. Waveterminal 192X Input/Output
Waveterminal 192X consists of analog 2 channel Input & 6 channel output and Digital
Optical output.
Waveterminal 192X has total of 5 connector composed of TRS(Tip/Ring/Sleeve)
connectors. 2 analog inputs are Balanced type input and they accept mono signal.
Other 3 connectors are configured as stereo output connectors. In other words, you
should use stereo cables to these connectors and you can get 6 channel analog outputs.
Caution: You can use Balanced or Unbalanced to Waveterminal 192X’s two Inputs.
However, WT192X’s 6 Outputs always have to be used Unbalanced.
Basic theory of connection cable
Waveterminal 192X’s 5 analog connectors use TRS type connector, which is divided by
three connection points and called Tip(+)/Ring(-)/Sleeve(GND). This TRS type
connector is used in two different ways.
- Stereo connector: Tip(+)/Ring(-)/Sleeve(GND) are left, right and ground. Using
stereo cable, send 2 channel signal. It’s Unbalanced connection.
- Balanced connector: Three parts are Hot(+), Cold(-) and GND(Ground). This is for
Mono channel.
The point is that using one cable, 2channel flows or 1 channel flows.
Waveterminal 192X’s two input port are mono.
And three outputs are stereo. Its mean Outputs are 6 channel.
