DI-MOD USB

2.4 ANALOG IN/OUT:

This stereo jack plug offers two functions called

MONITOR and INSERT:

2.4.1 Monitor Mode:

When the MODE button is not pressed, this jack serves

as a stereo monitor output for the USB signal (data sent

from the computer are rendered over both channels).

In this case, the stereo jack’s terminals are assigned as

follows:

Tip = Ch 1 Out

Ring = Ch 2 Out

Sleeve = Ground

NOTE:

In MONITOR mode, you can plug headphones

into this jack to hear if a signal is being routed

to it. You don’t have a volume control to determine

levels, so please leave the headphones off when

you’re doing this! Though it is possible to plug

high-impedance headphones into this jack and

use it like you would a real headphones output,

this is not recommended.

2.4.2 Insert Mode:

When the button is pressed, the jack serves as a single-

channel insert. In this configuration, the left channel

can be used to convert outboard device’s signal from

A-to-D or D-to-A. The moment a plug is inserted into

the DI-MOD USB’s stereo jack, your MindPrint

device’s

output signal sends signals via the right digital channel

only, and the second device’s signal is routed to the left

channel. When Insert mode is activated, the stereo

jack’s terminals are assigned as follows:

Tip = Channel 1 In

Ring = Channel 1 Out

Sleeve = Ground

3. Software

This manual describes the MindPrint

DI-MOD USB’s

basic hardware features and explains how to install it.

You’ll find a detailed description of the driver software

on the included CD-ROM and as a downloadable

document at www

3.1 Direct Monitoring

The DI-MOD USB offers direct monitoring functionality,

which may be enabled via driver. When this feature is

activated, the analog input signal is sent directly to the

DI-MOD USB’s stereo jack and blended with computer’s

digital playback signal. The DI-MOD USB’s latency

(the time it takes for the input signal to run through

the computer and arrive at its output) is very low and

all but imperceptible when using powerful computers.

Nevertheless, in some recording situations it may be

necessary to monitor the recording signal in absolute

real-time, that is, with zero latency.

3.2 S/PDIF Routing

The recording signal may be routed to the S/PDIF Out

in parallel to the analog-to-digital converter, or the

playback signal may be routed to the S/PDIF Out in

parallel to the DA converter. You can assign the desired

functionality to the S/PDIF Out by means of the driver.
