recorder to record reference or backup tracks.

4.1 VOLUME

SPEAKERS A, B and C monitor outputs. Level is equal

trimmed, see 4.5 to learn more
4.2 SPEAKERS A, B and C
Connections:
On the rear panel you'll find three stereo outputs
for connecting monitor speakers or other
amplification systems. Output A (two 6.3 mm (1/
4") mono jacks) serves to connect the first-choice monitor speakers; output
B (a pair of RCA connectors) serves to connect an alternative monitor pair.
Output C (a pair of RCA connectors) serves to connect a subwoofer or a
third pair of monitors.
Handling:
SPEAKERS A, B, C
Sends the monitor signal to the selected outputs. The
LED on the button lights up to indicate the given output
is active. You can opt to address several pairs of speakers
simultaneously.

Want to make A/B comparisons to a reference CD? Simply switch
back and forth between DAW ON and MONITOR ON to compare
the DAW s signal to the reference CD s signal.
In most scenarios, T.R.I.O™ is connected directly to active
x
speakers or power amps that are able to put to painfully high
volume levels. Do your hearing and your speakers the favor of
always exercising utmost caution when twisting the VOLUME
knob. When in doubt, roll back the VOLUME knob rather than
cranking it wide open.
The VOLUME knob is of extra big size making it easy to be
y
accessed even in stress situations.
If you own a pair of speakers and a subwoofer, you can connect
g
the two satellites to SPEAKERS A and the subwoofer to SPEAKERS B
or C. This lets you address the speakers and subwoofer separately
and easily switch the latter off whenever you wish.
We opted to pass on a MUTE button for the simple reason that
y
you can enjoy the same functionality (silencing speakers) by sim-
ply engaging the SPEAKER A/B/C buttons or turning down the
volume!
