Chapter 9: Making Studio Connections 65
Each Phantom Power switch sends 48V to its
corresponding input pair.
4 When Pro Tools is launched and the input is
routed to a Pro Tools track (see “Recording a
Pro Tools Session” on page 75), you can adjust
the input level with the Input Gain knob (lo-
cated on the top panel of the 003, and the front
panel of the 003 Rack).
Using a Mic that Has a 1/4-Inch
Connector
To use a microphone that has a 1/4-inch
connector:
1 On the back of the 003 or 003 Rack, plug the
1/4-inch connector from your microphone into
one of the DI inputs. From the back, the inputs
are numbered left to right, so DI Input 1 is the
leftmost input.
2 Press the Mic/DI switch (located on the top
panel of the 003, and on the front panel of the
003 Rack) for the corresponding input so that it
is in the DI (lit) position.
3 When Pro Tools is launched and the input is
routed to a Pro Tools track (see “Recording a
Pro Tools Session” on page 75), you can adjust
the input level with the Input Gain knob.
Connecting Instruments to
003 or 003 Rack
003 and 003 Rack support two types of inputs,
which correspond to the signal strengths of dif-
ferent types of instruments. Instruments such as
electric guitar or electric bass usually have a
lower level of output than instruments and elec-
tronic audio sources such as mixers, samplers,
keyboards, turntables, and synthesizers.
The higher level of output is commonly called
“line-level” and the instruments that produce
these higher levels are called line-level devices.

If you are using a microphone with a 1/4-
inch connector, do not choose the “Mic” in-
put source because the 003 or 003 Rack will
not register any signal.
