Orpheus' rear panel contains all Orpheus' connections, except for the instrument inputs and headphone outputs, which are on the front panel.
From left to right (viewed from rear):
• | 6A IEC inlet (regional power cord supplied): adjacent is the mains fuse holder. |
• | Two FireWire 400 (IEEE1394A) connectors (4-pin and 6-pin FireWire cables supplied). These have identical function; either can be used to connect to the host computer, the other can be used to daisy-chain additional Orpheus units if required. See Cascading multiple units. |
• | MIDI in and out/thru DIN sockets. |
• | Wordclock input and output BNC sockets: the wordclock output can supply base-clock or 256x clock if required. See the Synchronization section. |
• | S/PDIF input and output RCA sockets: these can also be operated as AES3 interfaces (RCA-XLR and XLR-RCA adapter cables supplied). See Digital inputs and Digital outputs. |
• | TOSLINK input and output: can be used for S/PDIF (up to 192kHz sample rate) or ADAT (44.1kHz/48kHz or 88.2kHz/96kHz in SMUX mode). See Digital inputs and Digital outputs. |
• | Line output TRS jacks 1-8: switchable +4dBu/-10dBV level, can operate in balanced or unbalanced mode. See Analogue outputs. |
• | Line input TRS jacks 5-8: switchable +4dBu/-10dBV level, can operate in balanced or unbalanced mode. See Analogue inputs. |
• | Mic/line input combos 1-4: XLR for microphones, with 10dB to 65dB finely-adjustable gain and switchable phantom power; TRS jack for line inputs, with switchable +4dBu/-10dBV level, can operate in balanced or unbalanced mode. See Analogue inputs. |
