[. . . ] The A and B stereo outputs are identical, but they can only be used one at a time (switched with the MONITOR A/B Select Switch [19] or the MON A/B Footswitch [32]). The signal at the CONTROL RM MONITORS output is the same as the BALANCED LINE-LEVEL OUTPUTs 1 and 2 by default. You can use the monitor outputs for the DAW's main stereo mix, while keeping outputs 3-8 free for other uses, such as sending to a personalized monitoring system (when preferred over the built-in headphone amp system). Note: You can select any odd/even pair of analog outputs, any stereo headphone out, or the stereo S/PDIF_ AES/EBU output as the source for the Control Room Monitors in the Console "Settings" window. On a Mac, it appears in the Audio MIDI Setup utility, found in the Applications/Utilities folder. 6. IEEE 1394) is a high-speed serial I/O interface for connecting digital devices, with more than 30 times the bandwidth of USB 1. 1. There are two FireWire connections, so you can install the Onyx 1200F in a daisy-chain fashion consisting of, for example, the host computer, the Onyx 1200F, an external FireWire hard drive, etc. The FireWire interface provides up to 64 individual streams of digital audio I/O at 48 kHz to your DAW software application. 30 in/34 out digital streams at 48 kHz 16 in/16 out digital streams at 96 kHz 8 in/8 out digital streams at 192 kHz 5. MIDI IN/OUT (1 and ) These are standard 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors for sending and receiving MIDI commands. When a MIDI controller is connected to the 1200F, it appears as a MIDI device in the DAW software application. They can be used for a MIDI fader controller, a MIDI keyboard or drum pad, or any other computer-related MIDI equipment.

These streams are not affected by the DSP Mixer in the Onyx 1200F Console (see the Figure on page 9). The FireWire interface also provides a return from the DAW for the eight analog outputs, two S/PDIF or AES digital outputs, eight digital A (ADAT) outputs, eight digital B (ADAT) outputs, and four stereo headphone outputs, which can be routed back to their respective outputs. You can use the control room outputs to monitor the stereo mix from the DAW application through your control room monitor speakers. As an added bonus, we include a free copy of Tracktion, our multitrack recording and sequencing software application for PC and Mac. Tip: If your laptop or desktop computer does not have a FireWire connection, you can purchase a PCI or PCMCIA FireWire card (or FireWire ExpressCard) and install it in your computer easily and inexpensively. 8. S/PDIF IN/OUT These are RCA connectors that send and receive two channels of digital audio in the S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) format. The S/PDIF inputs share the same two digital streams with the AES/EBU inputs. You can select which input to use in the Settings tab in the Onyx 1200F Console (Digital Input: S/PDIF coaxial or AES/EBU XLR). The S/PDIF and AES/EBU outputs are always active and carry the same stereo signal. S/PDIF OUT transmits two-channels of digital audio, which appear as outputs 33 and 34 in the DAW software application. S/PDIF IN receives two-channels of digital audio, and appears as DAW inputs 29 and 30 in the Onyx 1200F Console.
