Analog Outputs

Monitor Outputs

These are balanced, 1/4-inch TRS jacks for 
line-level analog audio output connections. 
These outputs correspond to Outputs 1–2 in 
Pro Tools, allowing you to route mixes to a stu-
dio monitoring system. Operating levels for 
these outputs are fixed at +4 dBu. 

Monitor Output level is controlled by the Mon-
itor Level knob on the front panel of Digi 002. 

Main Analog Outputs 1–2

These are balanced, 1/4-inch TRS jacks for 
line-level analog audio output connections. Op-
erating levels for these outputs are fixed at 
+4 dBu.

While the Main Analog Outputs do accept un-
balanced connections, this may result in a nois-
ier signal than a balanced-to-balanced connec-
tion. If the devices you are connecting to 
Digi 002 have balanced inputs, be sure to use 
balanced cables for optimal signal-to-noise per-
formance.

Alt Main Analog Outputs 1–2

These are unbalanced, two-conductor RCA con-
nectors for direct output to devices such as ste-
reo receivers or tape decks. Operating levels for 
these inputs are fixed at –10 dBV.

Analog Outputs 3–8

These are balanced, 1/4-inch TRS jacks for 
line-level analog audio output connections. Op-
erating levels for these outputs are fixed at 
+4 dBu. Unbalanced connections are also sup-
ported with the use of standard 1/4-inch mono 
plugs. 

Digital I/O

S/PDIF Digital I/O

The Sony Phillips Digital Interface Format 
(S/PDIF) is used in many professional and con-
sumer CD players and DAT recorders. These 
S/PDIF input and output jacks are unbalanced 
2-conductor phono (RCA) jacks that utilize a full 
24-bit, 2-channel digital data stream. To avoid 
RF interference, use 75-ohm coaxial cable for 
S/PDIF transfers and keep the cable length to a 
maximum of 10 meters.

Digi 002 supports consumer mode S/PDIF output 
format (IEC-958 Type 2) at sample rates of 
44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, and professional mode 
S/PDIF output format (IEC-958 Type 1) at sam-
ple rates of 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz. For informa-
tion on which S/PDIF formats are supported by 
your S/PDIF-compatible gear, refer to the manu-
facturer’s documentation. 

Optical I/O

These are a pair of TOS-link style connectors for 
ADAT Optical (8 channels of I/O) or S/PDIF Op-
tical (2 channels of I/O) devices. You can choose 
between these Optical I/O formats in the
