M-Audio Sonica USB [5/20] A closer look

A Closer Look...

The following is an illustration of your Sonica, with a description of its

connectors and components. Please see the section, “Hooking Up Your

Sonica,” for more information.

1. USB Connector:Connect the “device end” of the USB cable that came

with your Sonica to this USB connector.

2. Power LED:This LED will be lit bright blue when the Sonica receives

power from the USB port.This will occur when the Sonica is properly

connected to your computer using a standard USB cable (such as the

one that was supplied with the Sonica), and that computer is powered

ON with the USB port enabled (depending on your computer model,

Sonica may receive power from your computer, even with your

computer turned off).

3. Optical Digital Output:This is a standard optical connector for digital

audio (sometimes called a TOSLink connector), and will accept a

standard optical digital cable. Either stereo digital audio or digitally

encoded surround sound audio may be output from this port. This

output comes with a cover that should be removed and can be stored

for later use when you are transporting the Sonica.

4. Analog Line Output:This 1/8” mini-jack accepts a stereo plug and is the

standard for connection with portable audio devices and powered

computer speakers. If needed when connecting to a home stereo

receiver, you may also obtain a cable with an 1/8” stereo plug on one

end, and two male RCA plugs on the other (these are usually red and

white, designating right and left side of the stereo signal).
