Mona
can accommodate four analog input signals and can generate six
independent analog output signals. In addition, Mona provides stereo
S/PDIF digital input and output via coaxial RCA or optical connectors,
and eight channels of ADAT optical I/O. The analog and digital inputs
and outputs on Mona are simultaneously active, except that the digital
mode must be set to either S/PDIF or ADAT.
The S/PDIF and ADAT I/O
cannot be used simultaneously
. This allows you to record up to 12
channels of audio (four analog and eight digital) while playing back 14
channels (six analog and eight digital) in ADAT mode, or record up to 6
channels (four analog and two digital) while playing back 8 channels (six
analog and two digital) in S/PDIF mode. Additional information on
attaching external devices to Mona may be found in the
Connecting to
Mona’s Rack-mount Audio Interface
section.
(NOTE: When connecting devices to the S/PDIF jacks on Mona, do not
use standard analog RCA audio cables. For reliable S/PDIF operation,
75ohm coaxial video cables are recommended).
