003 & 003 Rack Getting Started Guide66
On 003 and 003 Rack, DI Inputs 1–4 support
low-level instruments and line-level instru-
ments. Analog Inputs 5–8 support line-level in-
struments only.
To use a guitar with 003 or 003 Rack:
1 On the back of the 003 or 003 Rack, plug your
guitar cable 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 (lo-
cated on the top panel of the 003, and the front
panel of the 003 Rack).
To use a keyboard or mixer with 003 or 003 Rack:
1 On the back of the 003 or 003 Rack, plug your
keyboard, mixer, or other audio source into any
of the DI inputs or Analog Inputs by doing one
of the following:
• Use Analog Inputs 5–8 if you need to select
–10 dBV or +4 dBu operating level for your
keyboard.
– or –
• Use DI Inputs 1–4 if Analog Inputs 5–8 are
unavailable, or if you do not need to set the
operating level. DI Inputs 1–4 are available
even if a mic is connected to Mic Inputs
1–4 (although both cannot be active at the
same time).
For stereo inputs, (such as a stereo keyboard or
the stereo output from a mixer), use an
odd/even pair of inputs. For example, connect
the left channel to DI Input 1, and right channel
to DI Input 2.
From the back, the inputs are numbered left to
right, so DI Input 1 is the leftmost input.
