About Whirlwind pcDIQ
The Whirlwind pcDIQ is a four-channel pcDI stereo line interface, in a 1RU rack mount enclosure. Multiple computer audio outputs, MP3 players, CD players or other consumer audio devices can be converted to mic level for mixing in a traditional audio console.
Each of the four channels has unbalanced stereo line level inputs that are converted to left and right balanced, mic level XLR outputs. Input connections include gold plated left and right RCA jacks on the rear panel, with left and right 1/4" tip-sleeve jacks and a 3.5mm stereo jack on the front. Plugging a source device into the front panel jacks disconnects the rear panel RCA inputs. Additionally, the eight 1/4"inputs allow the pcDIQ to be used as an eight channel direct box to convert line level audio for recording or live performance purposes.
The pcDIQ also features a separate stereo mix buss that combines the four channels into a single stereo mic level, balanced output. Each of the channels of the pcDIQ can be selectively assigned to the mix buss through a switch. The individual channel can be output in mono while the mix buss signal remains in stereo. An additional switch converts the mix buss output from stereo to mono.
Whirlwind pcDIQ Features
- Four stereo pairs of line-level, unbalanced inputs in 1/4", 3.5 mm (1/8") and RCA formats make it easy to plug MP3 players, CD players, computer outputs, or other consumer audio devices into the pcDIQ for conversion
- Each of the four channels has a stereo pair of balanced, mic-level XLR outputs on the back panel
- Any of the channels can be sent to the dedicated stereo mix bus, where they're summed through the balanced, mic-level, XLR Mix Out jacks
- Each channel has a Ground Lift switch that breaks the audio ground between the input connectors and the XLR output
- Each channel has a Mono/Stereo switch that combines its left-and-right input signals to mono at the channel outputs. This action does not affect the mono/stereo status of that channel in the mix bus
- The mix bus has its own Mono/Stereo switch, which affects only the Mix Out pair
- Individual Pad switches apply -20 dB of attenuation to the input signal to prevent overloading the inputs when connecting devices with high output levels
