1. Combo Input:
microphone, a guitar or bass with an
active pickup, or a line-level device
to this input. For microphones, use
an XLR or 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cable.
For a guitar or bass with an active
pickup, use a standard 1/4" (6.35
mm) TS cable. For line-level signals,
use a 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cable.
2. Line/Instrument Switch: Set the
switch to Line when connecting a microphone, or keyboard. Set the switch to
Instrument when connecting a guitar or bass.
3. +48V (Phantom Power) Switch: This switch activates and deactivates phantom power.
When activated (lit), phantom power supplies +48 volts to the Combo Input. Please note
that most dynamic microphones and ribbon microphones do not require phantom power,
while most condenser microphones do. Consult your microphone's documentation to
find out whether it needs phantom power.
4. Headphone Output: Connect 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS headphones to this output. The mix
you hear from this output will be determined by the Direct Mono/Direct Stereo/USB
Switch. The level of this output is controlled by the Headphone Level knob.
5. Direct Mono/Direct Stereo/USB Switch: This switch controls whether or not the mono
direct input signal, the stereo direct input signal, or the USB stream return signal is sent
to the Headphone Output and Main Outputs.
•
When set to USB, only the USB audio playback from your computer will be heard.
•
Set the switch to Direct Mono to monitor the direct input signal with all inputs
summed and heard equally on each side. This is useful for monitoring a guitar or
vocal mic signal. This switch does not affect the DAW playback or how your sound
is recorded into your DAW; it only affects how you hear the input signal in the
Headphone Output and Main Outputs.
•
Set the switch to Direct Stereo to monitor the direct input signal with Input 1 in the
left channel and Input 2 in the right channel. This is useful if you want to directly
monitor a stereo mic setup such as a stereo signal from a keyboard, or overhead
drum mics.
