1. Inputs – Connect either XLR or ¼” cables to the inputs.
2. Inserts – Place additional equipment (like compressors,
equalizers, etc.) into your signal path using “insert” cables.
3. Mic/Line or Guitar Switch (Channels 1-2 only) – Switch
to a high-impedance circuit to record electric guitars/basses.
4. Gain Knobs – Set the preamplifier gain level.
5. Monitor Blend Knob – This knob controls the amount of
direct signal (from the analog and digital inputs) that gets
blended in to outputs 1/2. This direct signal monitoring
bypasses the computer for lag-free listening while tracking.
6. Metering Section – 5-segment “ladder” meters show the
precise digital input signal for each analog channel.
Status lights indicate Firewire connection to the computer,
current sample rate, and ADAT, S/PDIF, and MIDI activity.
Stereo output meters show the levels for outputs 1/2.
7. Phones 1&2 Volume – The IO|14/26 has two separate
headphone outputs.
8. Main Level – This knob sets the output level of channels
1/2.
9. Mic/Line or Phono Switch (IO|26 only) –If you want to
connect a turntable to your IO|26, use the RCA “phono”
inputs (on the rear of the unit) and engage this switch.
10. Phantom Power – These switches let you supply +48v
“Phantom Power” to condenser microphones that require
power. Each button engages/disengages phantom power for
a pair of inputs (i.e., channels 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8).
MIC / LINE
Phantom power is only
necessary for condenser
microphones. Dynamic
microphones do not need
power to work correctly.
Check your microphone’s
manual to find out if it needs
phantom power.
It’s OK to set your gain levels
conservatively with the IO|14
and IO|26. These interfaces
feature outstanding analog-
to-digital converters and
preamplifiers, allowing you
to capture excellent
recordings even if your
signals peak at -9dB (or even
lower).
The combo jack inputs
The XLR input “expects” to
see a microphone and
delivers between 6.8dB and
50dB of gain, depending on
the position of the gain knob.
The ¼” input “expects” to
see either a line input or an
electric guitar or bass,
depending on the setting of
the Mic/Line/Guitar switch.
In the Line position, the input
provides between -15.4dB
and 27.8dB of gain. This
allows plenty of gain for
weak line level sources and
also provides the ability to
pad down overly powerful
line sources.
In the Guitar position, the
input provides 6.8dB to 50dB
of gain—the same range as
the XLR input.
