T.R.I.O.
1.4 HF
Twist this knob to adjust the amount of treble in the signal.
Characteristic: Chebyshev type high shelving filter (Vintage
dip-before-boost design)
Corner frequency: 7.5 kHz
Control range: +/- 12 dB
1.5 LF
Twist this knob to adjust the amount of bass frequencies in
the signal. Characteristic: Chebyshev type low shelving filter
Corner frequency: 100 Hz
Control range: +/- 12 dB
1.6 FAT
This is a soft knee-type compressor with auto gain make
up and program-dependent adjustment of time constants.
Though that sounds pretty complicated, handling is as
easy as it is effective: Far left setting = zero compression. Twist the knob
clockwise to dial in everything from slight compression to ultra fat signals.
An LED provides visual indication of compression amounts.
LED display:
green - no compression
orange - normal compression
red - strong compression
1.7 REC VOL.
Twist this knob to adjust the recording level of the MIC/INSTR.
signal sent to the DAW (independently of monitor volume).
When turned fully anti-clockwise, no signal is sent to the DAW-
interface.
1.8 MUTE
Silences the MIC/INSTR input. When this button is engaged,
its red LED lights up. MUTE affects the recording bus and
monitor bus.
1.9 INSERT
Connecting signal sources:
To insert external processors into the MIC/INSTR. circuit,
connect them to the SEND and RETURN jacks located on the
rear panel.
SIGNAL COMPRESSION
As first impressions go, the FAT knob may not bowl you ever, but it
puts a bona fide analog compressor at your fingertips. And though it
brings considerable sound-shaping power to the T.R.I.O™, it handles
very easily. It literally lets you dial in great-sounding results for all
microphone/instrument signals at the twist of your wrist.
y
REC VOL. determines the level of the signal recorded to the DAW,
and not the monitoring level. Adjust the monitoring level using
the MIC/INSTR. knob in the monitor section.
y
The analog VOL. REC level depends on the setting of a trim knob
on the bottom panel of the device with the wordy name DAW
INTERFACE ANALOG OUT LEVEL ADJUST (see 8.1 to learn more).
g
MUTE comes in handy when you want to silence the mike during
a break or swap instruments.
g
TRIO is the perfect sidekick for laptop-based audio presentations
with a headset microphone. To conveniently switch off the micro-
phone during breaks, simply hit the MUTE button.
PHANTOM POWER
Equipped with a robust wall wart, T.R.I.O is able to provide 48 V phan-
tom power that is stable enough to satisfy the demanding require-
ments of high-quality capacitor microphones.
y
Most condenser microphones will work with less than 48 volts.
However, any reduction in voltage lowers the peak gain level and
degrades sound quality.
y
LOW CUT attenuates bass frequencies. This feature serves to filter
out low-frequency noise, for example, footsteps or popping noises
associated with close-miking vocals.
g
The INSERT SEND may also be employed as an aux send, for
example, to address an external reverb unit.
g
What’s more, you can connect a tuning device to INSERT SEND.
This way, an instrument’s tuning can be checked and adjusted on
the fly without unplugging it.
g
The signal of an external device (for instance, EN-VOICE®) may be
patched into INSERT RETURN. Because INSERT RETURN is located
post EQ/compressor, this option lets you bypass the T.R.I.O™‘s
input stage and EQ/compressor. The external signal is routed
directly to the A/D converter and into the monitor section.
