MAKING CONNECTIONS
The OMEGA is both an 8 x 4 x 2 mixer
and USB audio interface that can used
in a variety of audio setups. This section
describes how to make basic
connections for the following
applications:
• Monitoring Audio
• Recording Audio
• Connecting a Recorder for
Mixdown
Monitoring Audio
Omega Line Outputs play the audio
that is routed in Pro Tracks Plus™ or
BIAS Deck SE
TM
to Analog Outputs 1-2,
and can provide left and right outputs
to a two-track deck for mixdown, or to
another stereo destination.
Omega Line Outputs offer 24-bit
digital-to-analog converters capable
of nominal output of +4 dBu/+2 dBV
(balanced/unbalanced signal). The
connectors are TRS jacks; unbalanced
TS connectors are also supported.
Connecting headphones:
1. Connect headphones to the
Headphone jack located on
the front panel of the Omega.
The Headphone Output
accepts a 1/4” TRS connector.
2. Adjust headphone volume via
the Output Level knob.
Connecting to monitor speakers with a
power amp or self-powered monitor
speakers:
1. Using 1/4” cables, connect the
Line Outputs on the rear panel
of the Omega to the
appropriate inputs on your
mixer, power amp, or powered
speakers.
2. Adjust headphone volume via
the Output Level knob.
Connecting to a home stereo:
1. Using 1/4” cables, connect the
Line Outputs on the rear panel
of the Omega to the
appropriate inputs on your
stereo.
Recording Audio
Digital and analog audio sources can
be connected directly to the Omega.
Analog Audio:
Analog audio signals are output by
microphones, synthesizers, mixers, and
instruments with magnetic pickups.
Of these sources, microphones and
magnetic pickup instruments output
the quietest signals, and generally
require the most amplification.
Keyboards, preamps, and mixers
output “line level” audio, which varies
with each device between the -10 dBV
and +4 dBu standards.
To connect an analog audio source:
1. Plug an XLR or TRS cable
directly into the desired
Mic/Line Input on the Omega.
The Mic Inputs accept XLR
connectors, the Line Inputs
accept TRS connectors.
