Crimson 3
Audio Interface with Analog Monitoring
Content
Sources
You have three stereo source inputs with different connectors at your disposal: Source
input 1 via two stereo jacks, Source input 2 via two RCA connectors, Source input 3 via
mini stereo jack.
This means you can connect up to three audio devices as playback sources, like a CD
or MP3 player, a tape machine, an external DA converter or even a smartphone.
Typical applications include the use of reference tracks to do A/B comparisons or playing
an instrument along with a song.
IMPORTANT:
The Source inputs are monitoring-only. They can-
not be recorded in the DAW.
Note:
The levels of both unbalanced sources are auto-
matically converted to professional levels in
order for them to be directly comparable accord-
ing to the Crimson 3’s standard level. You can
also deactivate this preamplification (refer to
“Level Increase for Source Inputs 2 and 3” on
page 26).
