Microphone inputs. Your Quantum-series interface is equipped with 8/4 digitally
controlled PreSonus XMAX microphone preamplifiers for use with all types of
microphones. The XMAX design provides a Class A input buffer, followed by a dual-
servo gain stage. This arrangement results in ultra-low noise and wide gain control,
allowing you to boost signals without increasing noise. The ¼-inch front
panel inputs on Quantum can be either line or instrument. By default, they are set to
line. These inputs are not switching on the Quantum 2.
麦克风输入。你的Quantum系列接口配备了 PreSonus XMAX 8/4 数字控制的麦克
风前置放大器，适用于所有类型的麦克风。XMAX设计提供了a级输入缓冲器，其
次是双伺服增益阶段。这种配备会引起超低噪声和宽增益控制，允许你在不增
加噪声的情况下，增强信号。Quantum 的1 / 4英寸前面板输入既可以是线输入，
也可以是仪器输入。默认情况下，它们被设置为line。这些输入无法接通
Quantum2。
Each analog input on the Quantum-series interface features a combo jack. This
convenient connector accepts either a ¼-inch phone plug or an XLR plug. Mic Inputs 3-
8/4 are located on the rear of the unit. Each input on your Quantum-series interface is
also auto-sensing. When an XLR is connected, the signal is routed to the preamp.
When aTRS is connected, the preamp is bypassed and the input signalis sent directly
to the ADC. When nothing is connected, Channels 1 and 2 on Quantum will default
to line inputs, Channel 3-8 will default to mic. All analog inputs on the Quantum 2
default to mic.
Quantum 系列音频接口上的每个模拟输入都有一个组合插孔。这个方便的接

Please note: As with any audio input device,plugging in a microphone or an instrument,
or turning phantom power on or off, will create a momentary spike in the audio output of
your Quantum-series interface. Because of this, we highly recommend that you turn
down the channel trim before changing connections or turning phantom power on or
off. This simple step will add years to life of your audio equipment.

请注意： 与任何音频输入设备一样，插入麦克风或乐器，或者打开或关
闭幻象电源，都会在
Quantum
系列音频接口的音频输出中，产生一个瞬
间的峰值。正因为如此，我们强烈建议，你在改变连接或打开或关闭幻
象电源之前，调低 channel trim 。这个简单的步骤，会使你的音频设备寿
命延长几年。
Preamp controls. These controls allow you to adjust the gain and enable phantom
power for every onboard microphone and instrument preamp.
Preamp controls. 这些控制允许你调整增益，并为每个板载的麦克风和乐器
前置放大器启用幻象电源。
• Preamp Gain: Use this control to adjust the level of microphone preamps
1-8/4 and instrument preamps 1 and 2. The display to the far right will show the
current trim level. This encoder is also used to change from +4dbu to -10dbv
when a line-level TRS jack is connected.
• Next / Prev: Use these buttons to select the microphone preamp you wish to
control. The display to the right of the trim control will show which preamp is
currently being controlled.
• 48V: The Quantum-series interfaces provide 48V phantom power for each
microphone preamp. This feature can be individually enabled for each channel,
using this button. When 48V is active, the blue LED at the top of that channel’s
meters will illuminate.
• Preamp Gain: 使用这个控制来调整1-8/4前置放大器电平，以及1和2麦
克风前置放大器。最右边的显示屏将显示当前的trim电平。当连接线级
TRS接口时，这个编码器也用来从+4dbu变为-10dbv。
• Next / Prev：使用这些按钮，选择你想控制的麦克风前置放大器。微调
控制右边的显示屏，将显示当前正在控制的前置放大器。
• 48V：Quantum系列音频接口，为每个麦克风前置放大器提供48V幻象电
源。这个功能可以通过这个按钮，为每个通道单独启用。当48V激活时，
该通道仪表顶部的蓝色LED灯将亮起。
Warning: Phantom poweris only required for condenser microphones and
can severelydamage dynamic mics,especially ribbon mics.Therefore,switch
phantom power off for all channels where it is not required.
警示：幻象电源只对电容式麦克风有要求，会严重损坏动圈麦克风，特别是带状
麦克风。 因此，请关闭所有不需要幻象电源的通道的幻象电源。

• Flashing red and blue. Quantum 正在尝试与接收到的时钟信号进行同步。
• Red. 红色是 Quantum没有与你的电脑同步，或者其外部时钟源不存在。
• Flashing purple. 闪烁紫色是识别按钮在 UC Surface 中被激活。
PowerUser Tip:Word clock is the timing signal with which digital devices sync frame
rates.Properwordclock sync preventsdigital devices from having pops, clicks, and
distortion in the audio signal due to mismatched digital audio transmission. In
general, you will use your Quantum-series interface as the master clock in your
studio; it provides high-quality word clock for this purpose. However, if you would
like to use another device as the master clock, you can set the input source for
clocking in UC Surface. See Section 4.1 for details.
用户提示：字时钟是数字设备同步帧率的计时信号。正确的字时钟同步可
以防止数字设备由于不匹配的数字音频传输，而导致音频信号出现爆音、
咔嗒声和失真。一般来说，你会用 Quantum 系列音频接口，作为演播室的
主时钟；它提供了高质量的字时钟来实现这一目的。然而，如果你想使用
另一个设备作为主时钟，你可以在 UC Surface 中设置时钟的输入源。详情见
