Appendix C: 192 I/O Calibration Mode Instructions
25
13
Create an additional mono Auxiliary Input
track for each input you want to calibrate. Set
the input assignment for each of these Auxiliary
Inputs to its respective I/O input. Then set the
output of each of these Auxiliary Inputs to an
unused bus pair (for example Bus 3–4). In the
template session the bus names are Null and
Out. This makes sure feedback doesn’t occur
when monitoring main outputs 1–2.
14
Connect an external VU meter to each of the
I/O outputs in turn. (One at a time as you cali-
brate.)
15
Set all Pro Tools track faders to their default
of 0 dB by Alt-Shift-clicking (Windows) or Op-
tion-Shift-clicking (Mac) any fader.
16
The trim pots are located at the back of the
unit, underneath the DB-25 connector. The de-
fault trim assignment is “A.” If you wish to cali-
brate both the A and B trims, select the active
trim in the Analog Output tab in the Hardware
Setup dialog.
17
Adjust the I/O output level trim pot with a
small, flat-head screwdriver to align the outputs
to read “0 VU” on the external VU meter.
We
recommend using a
tweaker
tool with a recessed
flat-head surrounded by a plastic tube to hold
the trim pot. Tweakers can usually be found at
electronic supply stores.
To calibrate the 192 I/O inputs:
1
Connect the 192 I/O outputs to a bank of
192 I/O inputs by doing either of the following:
• Use a DB-25 to DB-25 straight through ca-
ble.
• Interconnect the XLR ends of DB-25-to-
XLR together.
2
In Pro Tools, select Options > Calibration
Mode.
The names of all uncalibrated tracks begin to
flash. In addition, the track volume indicator of
each Auxiliary Input track receiving an external
input signal now displays the reference level
coming from the calibrated output (default is
–18 dB).
3
Adjust the 192 I/O input level trim pots with
the same small flat-head screwdriver or tweaker.
It is best to calibrate the inputs with the back of
the 192 I/O facing you and the Pro Tools screen
well in sight. If you cannot see the Pro Tools
screen, consider asking another person to assist
you with the input calibration. When the level
is properly matched, the track name will stop
flashing and the peak volume indicator will in-
dicate your headroom value (the default is
“–18.0”).
The Automatch indicator arrows on each track
show the direction of adjustment required for
alignment:
When the incoming level is higher than the
reference level, the down arrow will appear lit
(blue). In this case, trim the I/O input level
down.
When the incoming level is lower than the
reference level the up arrow will appear lit (red).
In this case, trim the I/O input level up.
