Besides being used for inserting external devices, 
these jacks can also be used as channel direct outputs 
(post-GAIN). This is an unbalanced direct out.
Here are three ways you can use the INSERT jacks:
Direct out with no signal interruption to master.
Insert only to first “click.”
Channel Insert jack
Channel Insert jack
Channel Insert jack
Direct out with signal interruption to master.
Insert all the way in to the second “click.”
For use as an effects loop.

5. OUTPUTS -6
These 1/4" TRS output connectors provide balanced 
or unbalanced line-level analog signals. The signal at 
the LINE OUTs are assigned in the DAW application as 
follows:
 
Output 3 = Core Audio/ASIO out 3 
 
Output 4 = Core Audio/ASIO out 4 
 
Output 5 = Core Audio/ASIO out 5 
 
Output 6 = Core Audio/ASIO out 6
6. CR OUT 1 and 
These 1/4" TRS jacks provide a balanced line-level 
signal that can be used to provide a monitor mix to a pair 
of powered studio monitors, or an additional headphone 
mix to a headphone amplifier.
There are two pairs of Control Room outputs labeled 
A and B. These are selected using the A/B Select switch 
[26] in the Control Room section on the front panel of 
the base station. The same signal is routed to both stereo 
control room outputs, as well as the PHONES 1 and 2 
outputs.
7.  FIREWIRE
When the pod is connected to the base station, the 
FireWire connector on the base station is activated 
and used to connect to your computer. It operates in 
the same way as described for the FireWire connector 
on the pod [13], except that up to six tracks can be 
returned from your DAW to the Onyx Satellite instead of 
just two.
8. POWER Connector
Normally, the Onyx Satellite can be powered from the 
FireWire connector (which provides 12V DC for power-
ing devices). However, if you are using a 4-pin FireWire 
connector instead of a 6-pin connector (the 4-pin 
connector doesn’t provide power), or if you have two or 
more devices daisy-chained on a single connector, you 
need to use the AC adapter that came with your Onyx 
Satellite.
Connect the AC adapter to the Onyx Satellite first, 
then plug the adapter into a suitable and properly rated 
AC outlet.
9. Kensington Security Slot
To help prevent theft, this security slot is designed to 
fit the popular Kensington security locks. A variety of 
models are available from their website at  
www.kensington.com.
