Standalone Routing

When Global Audio System is set to Standalone, the Standalone Routing tab window becomes available in Maestro. In this grid itʼs possible to route hardware input pairs directly to hardware output pairs. Though the possibilities are endless, the following two routing configurations are the most common applications of Standalone routing:

1) Connecting Symphony I/O to an ADAT, AES or S/PDIF digital device

The following steps describe how to configure Symphony I/O as the A/D and D/A stages of a digital device equipped with standard digital I/O.

> a. Route Symphony I/Oʼs analog inputs to digital outputs (as shown below);

> b. Route Symphony I/Oʼs digital inputs to analog outputs (as shown below);

> c. Clock the digital device to Symphony I/O. For a more in-depth explanation of clocking, please see xx.

2) Playing through Symphony I/O without powering up the computer

In the case where electronics instruments or playback devices are connected to Symphony I/O inputs, you may want to listen to them through Symphony I/O without having to power up your computer. Perhaps you have a few keyboards connected to the analog inputs and a CD player connected to the S/PDIF coax input, and youʼd like to listen to all these devices through the speakers connected to Symphony I/O outputs 1 and 2. The following steps describe how to configure Symphony I/O for this operation:

> a. In Maestroʼs Standalone Routing tab window, assign Mixer 1 Out to Analog Out 1-2.

> b. In the Mixer tab window, adjust the Mixer 1 input faders to create a mix of your devices.

> c. Adjust Symphony I/Oʼs output level to the desired listening level.
