The Nanoface provides 4 analog outputs
in two stereo pairs:
• Output 1/2 on the breakout cable
(output RCA connectors).
• Output 3/4 as 1/4 inch TRS connector
on the right side of the Nanoface
(headphones symbol).
Both signals can be used as output for a
different signals (e. g. main mix + headphones
mix) from the multitrack software.

Connecting the outputs
1. Cable Connection
Connect the headphones to the phones output on the right side of the
Nanoface. A 1/4 inch TRS connector or an adapter from Mini-TRS-plug to 1/4
inch TRS is necessary.
Attention: Always turn down the level before you connect your headphones
to the Nanoface. Don’t wear headphones during the start of the computer or
the connection of the Nanoface to USB to avoid potential hearing loss.
2. Playback with audio programs
Standard Windows or Mac OS X programs cannot play on the output 3/4. If
the Nanoface is the default sound device in the audio setup, those programs
play on the output 1/2 on the breakout cable (speakers).
To listen to the signal on the headphones you have to duplicate the outout
1/2 on the phones out:
1. Switch to headphones output mode.
Press the encoder until the headphones LED and the LED Ch. 3/4 shines.
This means the phones output plays now channels 3/4.
2. Press and hold the encoder. Turn it one step to the left.
LED 3/4 turns off. The phones output plays now the signal of output 1/2.
The encoder controls the volume of signal 1/2 separately from the
chosen volume of output 1/2 on the breakout cable (speakers).
To switch back to channel 3/4 on the phones choose headphones mode
again and click/hold + turn the encoder one step to the right.
3. Multichannel audio programs
The Nanoface is a multitrack audio interface. The dierent outputs
are available via the driver to any audio software and the operating
system, which supports multiple audio outputs.
For the playback on the headphones with a professional multichannel
audio software, like Steinberg Cubase, Apple Logic, AVID Pro Tools or
Reaper, just to name a few, two steps are necessary:
• Choose the Nanoface in the audio setup of this program.
• Select Output 3/4 in the track (stereo track, submix bus or master
out), which should be play his signal on the phones.

With a Y-TRS-adapter the
phones output can be
used as 2nd line output
for a 2nd pair of speakers.
Output 3/4 provides 100
Ohm and can drive any type
of low or high impedance
headphones.
