Yes
,
Mac
OS
allows
you
to
use
multiple
audio
devices
at
once
and
use
them
as
-
if
they
were
a
single
device
.
Through
a
process
called
Aggregation
,
inputs
and
outputs
of
the
separate
devices
are
combined
and
can
be
used
simultaneously
.
For
example
,
you
can
aggregate
2
ONE
'
s
,
effectively
creating
a
device
with
4
output
channels
.
Apogee
supports
device
aggregation
for
a
maximum
of
2
devices
only
on
Mac
OSX
10
.
7
(
Lion
)
or
greater
.
&
nbsp
;
Apogee devices that support Aggregation:
- Duet 2
- Quartet
- GiO
- JAM
- MiC
- ONE
&

- Open Audio Midi Setup (Located in Applications/Utilities/ on your Mac)
- Click the + from the button left of the window
- Select "Create Aggregate device"
- Double-click the newly created device's name "Aggregate Device" and rename it if desired
- In the right side of the window, select the devices you wish to aggregate. For example ONE, Built-in Input, Built-in Output.

It
is
possible
to
connect
a
line
output
to
JAM
,
however
the
output
must
be
unbalanced
.
JAM
ʼ
s
input
can
be
driven
up
to
14dBu
unbalanced
and
it
is
recommended
that
the
output
device
be
set
to
a
-
10dBv
reference
output
level
.
If
the
output
level
is
+
4dB
referenced
,
it
is
recommended
to
be
cautious
with
the
amount
of
output
gain
being
sent
to
JAM
. (
6
-
10
dB
below
maximum
output
level
).
Examples
of
line
output
sources
may
be
,
mic
preamps

A
Line
-
matching
Transformer
is
an
adapter
with
a
female
XLR
connector
on
one
end
and
a
male
1
/
4
”
connector
on
the
other
.
This
transformer
converts
the
low
-
impedance
signal
of
a
microphone
to
high
-
impedance
for
connecting
to
a
device
like
JAM
.
In
this
process
,
the
transformer
is
providing
additional
gain
for
optimal
signal
level
.
