Crimson 3
Audio Interface with Analog Monitoring
Content
Sources
As a true monitor controller Crimson 3 offers further monitoring-only inputs. They cannot
be recorded and are therefore called Sources. Use the three switches to manage the
three stereo sources, which are named after their connector format.
For more information on the connectors refer to “Sources” on page 22.
Jack= balanced 1/4" input (for a professional CD player or a DA converter, for example)
RCA= unbalanced RCA input (CD player, AV receiver or similar)
Mini-J = unbalanced Mini-J input (MP3 player, tablets, smartphones, etc.)
Note:
The levels of both unbalanced sources are automatically converted to professional lev-
els in order for them to be directly comparable with other signals or inputs. You can
also deactivate this preamplification, see “Level Increase for Source Inputs 2 and 3”
on page 26.
