Audio connections – Mia

Connecting to Mia

Analog Inputs and Outputs

Mia has two analog outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) and two analog

inputs (IN1 and IN2) on the back. The input and output

connections can accept balanced or unbalanced jacks via ¼”

connectors. Both the inputs and outputs are set to receive or

send a +4 dBu (balanced) signal.

For optimum performance it is recommended that you use

balanced signals when connecting to Mia’s analog connectors.

Mia uses TRS connectors (tip, ring sleeve) for connecting

balanced line level signals.

The three sections of a TRS connector are used to transmit the

three components of a balanced signal (T = plus, R = minus, S

= ground). Mia will also accommodate the two conductor

unbalanced style connector.

S/PDIF Digital Inputs and Outputs

Under the analog connectors is a pair of connectors labeled DOUT and DIN.

These S/PDIF connectors are used to transmit digital data among digital audio

devices via an electrical signal. S/PDIF data can use the full 24-bit sample width

used internally on Mia.

When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks on Mia, the use of standard analog

RCA audio cables is not recommended. For reliable S/PDIF operation, 75ohm

coaxial (RG59) video cables are recommended.
