(22) Line Inputs 1 – 16
The 16 analog inputs are accessed via dual female DB25 connectors. Each DB25 jack
carries eight balanced line-level channel inputs using standardized Tascam pinouts.
Note: See
for connector pinouts.
Line Input Headroom
By default, the operating level of the line inputs is +20 dBu. The line
inputs and outputs can be globally configured to operate at +24 dBu
signal levels with the HEADROOM menu in the Settings>Hardware
panel within the Console application.
+24 dBu operation is typically used for interfacing with professional
audio equipment such as large format consoles, analog tape machines,
and similar devices that require higher signal levels. For additional
details about +24 dBu operation, see the Apollo Thunderbolt Software
Manual.
Line Input Reference Levels
The Line Inputs can be individually configured to use –10 dBV or +4 dBu reference lev-
els. This option is set in the channel input strips within the Console application. Refer to
the
