Ground Loop Hum and Noise
The design of Discrete 8 minimizes the possibility of ground loop hum and noise. However, we recommend the use
of shorter, shielded cables and balanced connections for all the audio signals of your system. All power cables of
the system should be connected to a dedicated outlet box or power conditioner unit to avoid ground current noise
aecting the audio signal path. It is also advisable to keep the layout of your signal and power cables separate.
ReAmp Outputs
The Discrete 8 ReAmp outputs are designed to be used with external eects whose outputs you would have to
connect back into any inputs of the interface. Think of the ReAmps as separate outputs that you can use for
external processing. They emulate the signal levels of an electric guitar in order to match the input of a guitar amp
perfectly – hence the name ReAmp outputs. You can, however, adjust the output level yourself so you can control
how “hot” you are going into an eect.
