T.R.I.O.
10. Record/Monitor Mode Selector
Located on the bottom panel of the T.R.I.OTM
is a miniature four-way DIP switch that serves to
configure recording and monitoring busses.
10.1 MIC/INSTR RECORD (1)
Activate this switch to send the left side (= channel 1 of the recording
software) of the MIC/INSTR. channel’s signal to the left and right sides of
the recording buss (signal is routed to both channels simultaneously).
10.2 MIC/INSTR. MONITOR (2)
Activate this switch to send the left side of the MIC/INSTR. channel’s signal
to the left and right sides (stereo center) of the monitor buss. This setting
applies to PHONES, DIRECT OUT and SPEAKERS.
10.3 LINE RECORD (3)
Activate this switch to send the right side (= channel 2 of recording
software; possibly the mono composite) of the LINE channel’s signal to the
left and right sides (stereo) of the recording buss.
10.4 LINE MONITOR (4)
Activate this switch to send the right side (possibly the mono composite) of
the LINE channel’s signal to the left and right sides (stereo) of the monitor
buss. This setting applies to PHONES, DIRECT OUT and SPEAKERS.
11. Other Features
11.1 POWER Switch
Use the POWER switch on the left of the rear panel to switch
T.R.I.O™ on and off. The INPUTS or OUTPUTS LED lights
up (depending on switching status) to indicate the device is
powered up and running.
11.2 Mains Socket
Use the external power supply (wall wart) rated for 15 V
alternating current and 1700 mA power to connect T.R.I.O™ to
the mains supply.

Though T.R.I.O™ is a device with two input channels, the two
channels do not automatically equate to a stereo setup. In purely
stereo devices, channel 1 is always on the left; channel 2 is always
on the right. T.R.I.O™ is more flexible: You are free to route the
mono as well as the stereo channel to the DAW input of your choo-
sing and to determine to which side(s) of the headphones/speaker
they are sent.
y
In the factory default configuration, all four switches are set to ON
= L/R. This means that the MIC/INSTR. signal as well as the LINE
signal are sent to the DAW’s input as well as to both sides of the
headphones/speaker circuits. This gives you flexible routing opti-
ons for both signals, for example, by simply arming the desired
DAW inputs.
y
RECORD/MONITOR MODE SELECTOR settings apply to both the
headphones, the DIRECT OUT and the speaker outputs. Depending
on DIP switch settings, you may encounter some “interesting”
monitoring scenarios, for example, where the monitor signal is
audible on the left speaker only.
y
Though the RECORD/MONITOR MODE SELECTOR may not mean
much to you now, it offers some very convenient options that you
will come to appreciate later: Say a guitarist wants to double a
previously recorded track: You can let him hear the canned track
on the left side of the headphones/speaker system and the live
recording signal on the right. Another example: Say you want to
record a guitar along with a stereo effect generated by a signal
processor. Simply set all switches to ON (= default) to receive
a signal where the guitar is centered and the effect signal is
rendered in true stereo.

If the wall wart is lost or damaged, replace it with an original
MindPrint® replacement power supply only. Other power units
can damage T.R.I.O™. The original MindPrint® power supply
is available in authorized music stores and in the MindPrint®
Webshop at www.mindprint.com

A clean power supply is vital to getting great tone. This is why
T.R.I.O™ ships with a generously sized power unit designed to
provide plenty of power for the microphone input and the two
headphones amps under any circumstances.
