T.R.I.O.
7.2 TB VOLUME
Twist this knob to adjust the volume of signal the sent from
the built-in talkback microphone to the headphones busses.
7.3 TB MIC
The talkback microphone is sited midway between the
TALKBACK button and the TB VOLUME knob, below the
three little holes in the housing.
8. Daw Interface
Located on the T.R.I.O™’s rear panel is an interface that connects to the
DAW. Linking the T.R.I.O™ to the computer, this interface transports all
audio data to and from the DAW. You have analog and digital ports at your
disposal.
Connections:
Two pairs of RCA connectors for the inputs and the outputs, respectively,
provide analog access to the DAW. Adjust signal levels to match the levels of
the DAW using the TRIM knobs on the bottom panel of the device.
Two optical ports in TOSLINK format provide a digital link to the DAW.
8.1 ANALOG OUT L/R
Use the two RCA connectors on the rear panel to set up an
analog line to the DAW. The signals of the MIC/INSTR and LINE
busses are recorded to the DAW via these ports.
8.2 ANALOG OUTPUT LEVEL ADJUST
Twist this knob on the bottom panel of T.R.I.O™ to adjust
the level of recording signals sent to the DAW’s analog
inputs. The control range is -oo to +6dB (0 dB at the center
detent position).
8.3 ANALOG IN L/R
Use the two RCA connectors on the rear panel to return analog
signals from the DAW. Signals sent from the DAW are routed to
the monitor section via these ports.

In the heat of the moment, producers sometimes begin addres-
sing the vocalist before pressing the TALKBACK button. If vocalists
can’t hear the beginning of a sentence, they won’t understand
you. Misunderstanding breeds insecurity; an insecure artist can’t
deliver a compelling performance. So in the interests of capturing
happening performances make a habit of pressing TALKBACK
FIRST, and then talking.
y
You’ll hear a soft “pong” sound when you press the TALKBACK
button. This not a malfunction. The TB microphone is extremely
sensitive; indeed, it’s so delicate it transmits the sound the button
engaging. Eventually, you’ll find this to be an advantage: the
„pong“ signals to vocalists that words of wisdom are coming their
way! :o)

Do not place objects on the TB microphone or push in the micro-
phone covering with pointed objects.
y
The DAW interface has the job to carry the recording signals from
TRIO to the DAW inputs, and brings back the DAW outputs to TRIO.
The interface works in „full duplex“, so you can record in the DAW
while simultaneously playing back the DAW outputs.
g
Analog and digital outputs may be used simultaneously. Case in
point: If you have set up a digital circuit to the DAW, you can use
the analog outputs to patch out recorded signals, say to back-up
tracks to a minidisk. You can use the same approach to set up an
aux send to an outboard signal processor.
g
The analog DAW INTERFACE outs may also be used as aux sends,
for example, to add makeshift “working“ reverb to recording
signals.
g
Ditto for analog and digital inputs. For instance, you could use
the DAW INTERFACE ANALOG INPUTS as an additional stereo in
for connecting a CD player or effect device. This increases the
number of simultaneously accessible analog inputs available on
T.R.I.O™ to one mono and three stereo ports.
