Features
-
USB Port: This connection powers DS1 (when your computer is powered on) and sends to and receives audio from your computer. Use the included USB cable to connect this USB port to an available USB port on your computer.
-
Power Light: This LED lights up when DS1 is connected to your computer and powered on.
-
Inputs: Use standard stereo RCA cables to connect these inputs to your audio sources. These inputs can accept line- or phono-level signals. Use the Phono/CD Selector to set the proper input level.
-
Phono/CD Selector: Set this switch to match the levels of the audio sources connected to the inputs.
Use the CD (up) position for line-level CD players and media players or other line-level audio sources.
Use the Phono (down) position for phono-level sources such as vinyl turntables. -
Grounding Terminal: If you’re using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the wire to these terminals. If you experience a low “hum” or “buzz,” this could mean that your turntables are not grounded. Please note that some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore, nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.
-
Outputs: Use standard stereo RCA cables to connect these outputs to your powered speakers or amplifier system. The main/master mix from your computer will be sent out of these stereo RCA outputs.
