Connection Tips

Connect digital recorders such as CD and DAT

recorders using the S/PDIF RCA outputs on the

96i I/O.

Inputs 1–4 offer the greatest amount of sensi-

tivity adjustment, so use these inputs for low-

level signals from less powerful devices (such as

older keyboards, samplers, and sound modules).

Use inputs 5–16 for professional grade devices

with higher output levels.

Consider connecting the 96i I/O to a high-

quality patch bay for the greatest ﬂexibility. A

patch bay will let you quickly route signals to in-

puts 1–4 or 5–16 as needed; use inputs 1–4 when

you need the most control over input levels. Use

inputs 5–16 for all other input needs.

Pro Tools

Configuring the 96i I/O with Pro Tools includes

adjusting input and output gain, and selecting

The 96i I/O, when correctly connected, is auto-

matically recognized by Pro Tools when it

launches. 96i I/O settings are configured in the

Hardware Setup window.

To conﬁgure the 96i I/O in Pro Tools:

Choose Setups > Hardware.

Conﬁgure the Hardware Setup parameters for
