BOMGE BMG-11S is an idea audio in terface for many DAW application
other computer, PC or Mac. Atypical setting of connections is illustrated below.

This setup shows a typical configuration for recording using DAW software on your Mac or PC. You would record vocals through input 1 and guitar through input 2 into your recording applications, while monitoring the playback via headphones.

s0MGEBG-11S inputs are on the front panel. Input 1 uses a standard and both line 3 pins XLR socket, and is designed to work with microphones of most popular types; you will probably have a male XLR connector on the end of your microphone cable.

Connecting BMG-11S to Loudspeakers

You can use the 1/4″jack outputs on the rear panel to connect monitor speakers.  Active monitors have internal amplifiers with a volume control, and can be  Active monitors have internal amplifiers with a volume control, and can be  connected directly. Passive loudspeakers require a separate amplifier; the rear panel connected directly. Passive loudspeakers require a separate amplifier; the rear panel  outputs should be connected to the amplifier’s inputs.

The line outputs are 3-pole (TRS)1/4″(6.35mm) jack sockets, and are electronically  balanced. Typical consumer (Hi-Fi) amplifiers and small powered monitors will have balanced. Typical consumer (Hi-Fi) amplifiers and small powered monitors will have  unbalanced inputs, either on phono(RCA) sockets, or via a 3.5 mm 3-pole jack plug unbalanced inputs, either on phono(RCA) sockets, or via a 3.5 mm 3-pole jack plug  intended for direct connection to a computer. In either case, use a suitable connecting intended for direct connection to a computer. In either case, use a suitable connecting cable with jack plugs at one end.

Professional power amplifiers will general have balanced inputs; we highly recommend  using balanced cables to connect to the outputs of our unit.

The front panel includes the input connectors for mic and line/instrument signals,
and the input gain and monitoring controls.

1. Input 1 electronically balanced input via 3-pin XLR socket for microphones.

2. GAIN 1 — adjust the gain for the microphone signal at Input 1. The gain controls have a green colour
LED square to confirm signal input.

3.48V — phantom power switch for microphone input – enables 48 V/ phantom power at the XLR
socket.

4. Input 2 – %” TRS jack socket to connect both instruments (unbalanced TS jack) or mono line
level (balanced) sources.

5. GAIN 2 – adjusts the gain for the linefinstrument signal at Input 2. The gain control has a green
colour LED square as [2].

6. INST/LINE – Instrument/Line level switch for Input 2 — switches gain to suit instrument or line level
signals. ‘INST illuminates green when Instrument mode is selected

7. MONITOR — main monitor output level control – sets the output level at the rear panel outputs
and the front panel headphone output.

8 USB LED — a green LED illuminates when the unit is connected and recognize by your computer.

9. DIRECT MONITOR – selects monitoring of input signals (mixed with the DAW output) to be
directly from inputs (ON) or via the DAW (OFF)

10. %” TRS output jack. If your headphones have a %4” TRS jack plug, connect them directly;
if they have a 3.5 mm TRS “mini jack’, use a TRS %”-t0-3.5 mm jack adaptor. Note that itis
likely headphones fitted with 4-pole TRRS plugs will not operate correctly.

11.K(Kensington security lock)-Secure your unit to a suitable structure
if desired.

12. USB 2.0 port – Type C connector; connect the unit to your computer
with the cable supplied.

13. LINE OUTPUTS: LEFT and RIGHT- 2 x 1/4″ (6.35mm) TRS jack sockets;
Either 1/4″ TRS (balanced connection) or TS ( unbalanced connection)
jack plugs can be used
