Speaker Breakout jack
With this connection, you can use the cool Apple Pro Speakers to any computer that
meets the PowerWave system requirements.
Pro Speaker Breakout Cable
Another Griffin innovation – the Pro Speaker Breakout Cable plugs directly into the
Speaker Breakout jack and allows you to connect any pair of unpowered speakers to the
PowerWave.
Thru switch (Off-On)
To hear your input in real time, push the Thru switch to On. This will allow you to hear
the input before it enters the computer. You can also hear what was previously recorded,
if you’ve selected that in your software program. This is known as Zero Latency
playthrough, and it’s one of the PowerWave’s most important features. It’s the one that
will allow you to add voiceovers to your movies, multi-track record, etc.
Gain (Line-Mic)
Input devices you connect to the PowerWave will fall into one of two categories – Line
level or Mic level – and you use the Gain switch to select the category. Anything you’re
connecting using a Line Out jack will be a Line level device. This would include, but not
be limited to, tape decks, CD players, VCRs and video cameras, mixing boards, etc.
Professional microphones are also typically Line level devices, after they’ve been
sufficiently pre-amped using a Line level transformer or mixer. Mic level devices include
computer microphones and devices connected through headphone jacks.
RCA Stereo Line Output
Connect output from the PowerWave to the input of your recording device.
