QUICK START
Okay, okay… let’s run some audio through
HUI’s monitor section. If you already performed
the self-demo, then you know the faders work.
The next logical stage is to make sure that HUI
works with audio connected, and with your DAW.
Quick Start Audio Test
The diagram below shows the simple audio
connections you’ll need to make for the audio
quick start.
1. With HUI’s
power turned off
, plug in one of
the following:
• A pair of powered studio monitors to
MONI-
TOR OUTPUTS 1
on HUI’s rear panel; or…
• A pair of speakers (via a power amp) to
MONITOR OUTPUTS 1
on HUI’s rear panel;
or…
• At the very least, a pair of headphones. You’ll
plug these into — wonder of all wonders —
the
HEADPHONES
jack on HUI’s rear panel.
Now you can hear what’s happening.
2. Connect the output of a stereo audio
source (e.g., tape deck or CD player) to the
L/R
MONITOR INPUTS 1
.
3. Make sure the front panel
MASTER VOL-
UME
and
LEVEL
knobs are off or turned down.
4. Power up HUI by pressing the
POWER
switch on the rear panel.
5. On HUI’s front panel, make sure the
INPUT 1
,
OUTPUT 1
and
OUTPUT 3
buttons are pressed.
They’re in the
CONTROL ROOM
section; their
LEDs will light up. (Be sure the
1:1 DISCRETE
switch is off.)
6. Turn up the
MASTER VOLUME
knob, the
LEVEL 1
knob, and the
LEVEL 3
knob enough
to hear sound coming from the speakers and
headphones.
7. Set the
TALKBACK MIC
switch on the
rear panel to the
INTERNAL
position. With the
TALKBACK LEVEL
knob all the way down,
press and hold the
TALKBACK
button, and
slowly turn the
TALKBACK LEVEL
knob up un-
til you can hear yourself talk in the
headphones.
Note:
TALKBACK
is only assigned to
OUT-
PUT 3/PHONES
from the factory. You can
assign
TALKBACK
to any of the
OUTPUTS
(see instructions under “Talkback Section” on
page 13).
8. Repatch the audio source into various in-
puts and turn on the various front panel input
and output switches accordingly. As a precau-
tion, turn down the
MASTER VOLUME
control while repatching cables. You’re now
checking all of the various input and output
combinations.
More information on HUI inputs and outputs
can be found in the “Audio Input and Output”
section, which begins on page 17.
If you suspect a problem with the HUI, turn
to the “Troubleshooting” section beginning on
page 25 and run the self-test.
