Each 1/4” line out jack (Output 1 and 2) sends a -10dB unbalanced signal
on 1/4” TS plugs (tip-sleeve).They are designed to be plugged into a mixer,
stereo receiver, powered speakers, or any other line level input such as a
mixdown deck or tape recorder.
Channel 1 of the M-Audio Ozone provides a microphone input on a
balanced XLR connector. Channel 2 has a balanced 1/4” TRS (tip-ring-
sleeve) connector for connecting a balanced or unbalanced instrument level
signal.This input is ideal for recording an electric guitar,bass, or an acoustic
guitar with a pickup. Either one of the M-Audio Ozone’s input channels can
be recorded individually, or you can record them simultaneously.
The Aux Input accepts a stereo signal via a TRS cable.You may need to
purchase a cable that converts a pair of stereo outputs (individual RCA or
1/4” TS) into a single 1/4” TRS connector to plug into the M-Audio Ozone’s
Aux Input.Your M-Audio dealer should have a cable like this, often called
an “insert cable.”
You may connect the output of a line level instrument such as an electronic
keyboard, instrument preamp, or the output of a CD player or similar
line-level device to the M-Audio Ozone’s Aux Inputs.
The M-Audio Ozone’s Mic In (Channel 1), accepts a balanced, low
impedance microphone signal.If your microphone is a condenser type that
requires phantom power, you may apply phantom power by engaging the
Phantom Power switch (see the section entitled “Phantom Power”). The
Instrument In (Channel 2) will accept a balanced or unbalanced high
impedance guitar, keyboard, or microphone.
The following diagrams illustrate two scenarios, intended as examples of
how the M-Audio Ozone might be used.Typical Setup #1 shows the M-
Audio Ozone with a microphone plugged into the Mic In on Channel 1,and
an electric guitar plugged into the Instrument In on Channel 2.The main
outputs (Output 1 and 2) of the M-Audio Ozone are plugged into a DAT
recorder, with the recorder’s outputs connected to a monitoring system.
Typical Setup #2 shows a drum machine plugged into the Aux Inputs, with
Outputs 1 and 2 plugged into a monitoring system.The drum machine is
also connected to the M-Audio Ozone MIDI Out “USB.”
