4 – Parts of the DM-24—Top surfaceTASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 29Analog module inputsThese inputs typically feed the first sixteen inputchannels, but may be assigned in other ways asexplained in “Setting up the I/O” on page 36.1 INSERT These TRS 1/4” connectors are usedto provide a post-TRIM insert (send at –2dBu), andthe return (–2dBu) occurring just pre-AD convertor.2 LINE IN (BAL) These balanced 1/4” jacksaccept analog inputs at a nominal +4dBu input level,adjustable with the TRIM controls.3 MIC These XLR connectors accept analoginputs for balanced microphones. Phantom power isavailable (switchable in groups of 4 inputs).The input level is adjustable with the TRIM controls.NOTEThere is no switch to allow a choice between the MICand the LINE inputs. Accordingly, connections shouldnot be made to both inputs of a channel simulta-neously.WARNING4 TRIM These controls allow the input levelsfrom the MIC and LINE inputs to be adjusted over arange of 56dB.Turning these controls clockwise increases the levelof the signal fed to the channel AD convertors.5 PHANTOM (+48V) These switches allow+48V phantom power to be provided to the MICchannel inputs. These switches are arranged so thatone switch controls the phantom power for four inputchannels (1 through 4, 5 through 8, 9 through 12, and13 through 16).Other analog I/OThese inputs and outputs provide analog feeds tomonitoring systems, etc.a balanced pair of stereomaster outputs and an insert loop for these outputs.There are also four assignable sends and returns, asexplained in “Setting up the I/O” on page 36.6 MONITOR OUTPUTS [CR (BAL)] These1/4” balanced analog outputs are used to providemonitoring signals to the control room as selectedusing the monitor select switches (+4dBu nominallevel).7 STEREO OUTPUT This pair of balancedXLR connectors provides the analog stereo out signalat +4dBu.8 MONITOR OUTPUTS [STUDIO] Theseunbalanced RCA connectors provide unbalanced sig-nals to the studio at a nominal output level of–10dBV.9 2-TR IN These two RCA unbalanced inputsare typically used for monitoring the replay from ananalog mastering device at a nominal input level of–10dBV.A STEREO OUTPUT [INSERT] These 1/4”TRS connectors provide insert facilities for theSTEREO OUTPUTs. The send (level –2dBu) is postDA convertor and the return (level –2dBu) is imme-diately before outputs.1 2 3 45Connection of microphone cables and microphones:to prevent hazard or damage, ensure that onlymicrophone cables and microphones designed to theIEC 268-15A standard are connected.Connexions des microphones et de leurs câbles: pouréviter tout endommagement, s’assurer de brancheruniquement des microphones et des câbles de micro-phones conçus selon la norme IEC 268-15A.06 8 79 wq e
