Alesis DG8 Manual Do Utilizador

The DG8 uses standard 2-conductor 1/4” tip-sleeve unbalanced connectors for back
panel audio connections and a 3-conductor 1/4” tip-ring-sleeve connector for the two
headphone outputs on the front. The diagram below shows what the right kind of
connector looks like when purchasing audio cables and headphones.

Outputs
To connect your DG8 to a sound system in stereo, connect two 2-conductor
unbalanced audio cables from the unit’s 

 and 

 jacks on the back panel

 section to two inputs on your sound system. If you are connecting the DG8

to a mixer, pan the channels hard left and right to obtain a full stereo image.

To connect your DG8 to a sound system in mono, connect a 2-conductor unbalanced
audio cable from the unit’s 

 jack on the back panel 

 section to an

input on your sound system.

: If necessary, you can turn the DG8’s internal sound system off. There’s a slide

switch on the back panel adjacent to the stereo outputs that turns the speakers
on or off.

Inputs
The DG8 accommodates audio inputs from such sources as a stereo cassette or audio
CD player. These signals are mixed with the DG8’s internal sound system and output
to the speakers. The DG8’s 

 slider adjusts the volume level of the composite

mix of the DG8’s internal sounds, external card sounds and signals coming into the

 jacks. The level of the cassette or CD player must be set on the cassette or CD

player itself in order to control it separately from the DG8’s internal sounds.

To connect an external audio source in stereo, connect two 2-conductor unbalanced
audio cables from the source to the DG8’s 

 and 

 jacks on the back panel

 section. To connect an external audio source in mono, use one 2-conductor

unbalanced cable from the source to the 

 jack. This will route the mono signal

to both speakers. Plugging the cable into the 

 jack will route the sound to the right

speaker only.
