Chapter 1: Introduction
Studio Monitor Express (SME) is a powerful and flexible audio monitoring software application that runs on your workstation or
a dedicated computer and controls the routing between applications, external inputs, and ASIO hardware.
SME is a software version of a typical mixing console’s master and communications section and provides a professional surround
sound monitor mixer with two 5.1-speaker outputs and one stereo output (each with level, cut, and talkback controls). SME out-
puts are routed to the audio I/O hardware and can be controlled from the monitor section on Artist Series media controllers. SME
can also listen to external inputs without another application open.
Be aware that Studio Monitor Express does use additional CPU resources beyond EuControl, so if you do not require these ad-
vanced features (or your audio interface software already provides this functionality), there is no need to install SME.
SME is included as a separate installer on the EuControl CD-ROM that shipped with your unit. It includes a Euphonix Monitor
Core Audio Driver (Mac) and ASIO driver (Windows) to integrate with applications you want to use with SME.
