AUDIO KONTROL 1 – 41

5.3.1. Audio Connections

In order to listen to what you are playing on your instrument on your speakers or
headphones, you need to follow these steps:

Turn all relevant signal levels down: on your instrument, and on the Line Input
Sensitivity Knob (labeled Line) of your AUDIO KONTROL 1 hardware.
Plug your guitar (or bass) into AUDIO KONTROL 1’s audio interface instrument
input.
Plug the jack coming from your instrument into Input 2’s Jack. Because the
guitar and the bass are high impedance equipment, you must activate the high
impedance circuitry by engaging the Input Impedance Switch (Inst/Line, posi-
tion Inst).
Adjust the input level: strum some strings on your guitar and slowly turn the

Line Input Sensitivity Knob

on the hardware front panel clockwise while carefully

looking at the

Input 2 LED

on the hardware top panel. The Input 2 LED gives you

an idea of the incoming signal level at this input: If there is no signal present
at this input, the LED is off. If there is an incoming signal at an acceptable
level, the LED lights green. If the incoming signal level is too high, the LED
turns red. What we want is to have the LED light green and never turn red. To
achieve this, strum the loudest part that you plan to play on your guitar, and
look at the LED: if it is always green, turn the Line Input Sensitivity Knob up,
until the LED starts turning red. At that point, turn the Knob slightly down,
until the LED is no longer red. Now your signal is at the optimum level, giving
you the highest dynamic range without clipping.

Now that you have set up the input section, let’s have a look at the outputs. At
first, make sure that the Output Level Knob 1/2 is fully turned down, as well as the
volume control on your amplifier. As an example, we will use the first two outputs
on AUDIO KONTROL 1’s rear panel, as depicted in section 4.1.4. If you did not
do it yet, connect the Main Output Jacks 1 and 2 on the hardware’s rear panel to
your power amplification system.
