Section 1 — Controls and Architecture 14) Audio Input — B/Right and A/Left These jacks are the Right and Left Audio Inputs into the ASR-10 for sampling or Audio Track monitoring of external analog audio sources. SPECS: 140 KOhm input impedance, AC coupled. The Audio Inputs have 2 ranges: Line and Mic. With the Mic/Line switch set to Line, the ASR-10 will accommodate signals from +15.5dBV (Input Level Trim control fully counterclockwise) to -16.5dBV (Input Level Trim control fully clockwise). With the Mic/Line switch set to Mic, the ASR-10 will accommodate signals from -11.5dBV (Input Level Trim control fully counterclockwise) to -43.5dBV (Input Level Trim control fully clockwise).
Matching the appropriate input level with the correct settings of the Mic/Line switch and Input Level Trim control will bring the external signal source up to clipping level. 15) Main Out — Right/Mono and Left/Mono To operate the ASR-10 in stereo, connect these outputs to two discrete channels of your mixer and pan the mixer channels right and left. Note that either of the audio outputs can be used as a mono output. If you want to listen to the output in mono, make sure that only one of the output jacks is connected. 16) Phones To listen to the ASR-10 in stereo through headphones, plug the phones into this jack. The phones output contains a mix of the signal from the main outputs.
Headphone volume is controlled by the volume slider on the front panel. Note that plugging headphones into this jack does not automatically turn off the audio in the right and left outputs. Rear Panel Connections 5
