USB channels appears in Windows© as “recording
device USB 1” and “recording device USB-2” (Win-
dows© numbers them according to the order in whi-
ch they were recognized). In the console; the display
indicator “Digital In/Out” will show “U4”, indicating
that stereo input and output of USB channel was re-
cognized. When connecting to channel 7 the indica-
tor will change to “U8”; and will appear in the compu-
ter a secondary playing and recording device (USB-
2). Both USB channels can be connected to the
same PC or to different computers (please see “Very
Important” note).
Remember that you can see the playing and recording
devices from “Control Panel > Audio and sound Devices >
Audio”. In this window you define the preferred devices for
Windows (those that applications use by default). This is
simple since the devices are selected from a drop-down
menu.
Obviously, you must configure the USB devices in the
automation and editing software that you use. If your PC
does not have installed a soundcard, default playing and
recording device will be USB-1 (channel 6 and PGM out-
put).
ON THE LEVEL: After installation, you must adjust the
PLAYING LEVEL in the Windows© mixer (“Programs > Acces-
sories > Entertainment > Windows Mixer”); since both channels
“born” SILENCED. Windows© erroneously shows the faders at
middle scale, but the channels are muted. Set the main fader
(gain control) and WAVE faders to the Maximum position.
In addition to the inputs, the connection of USB channels
offers
two USB digital outputs , that appears in Win-
dows© as “recording device USB 1” (Channel-6 /
PGM) and “recording device USB 2” (Channel 7 /
REC)
. So that you have in the computer, in digital format,
the program and recording outputs (please see “2.2.3.2 –
USB Outputs”).
VERY IMPORTANT
• USB 7 CANNOT BE USED IF CHANNEL USB 6 IS NOT
CONNECTED;
since it is slave of channel 6. In order to
use only one USB channel always connect “DIGITAL 6”.
•
WHEN TWO PCs ARE CONNECTED; CONSIDER
THAT CHANNEL 7 CANNOT BE USED IF THE COMPU-
TER CONNECTED TO CHANNEL 6 IS
POWER OFF.
Usually channel 6 is used with the air PC; which is 24 Hs
operative.
Channels 6 and 7 also present analog inputs . Chan-
nel USB 6 has an auxiliary input - LINE 6 - stereo, un-
balanced; with RCA connectors. Channel USB 7 has
a stereo balanced -
BAL-7 - with DIN-5 connector.
2.2.2.3
MICROPHONE
INPUTS
The channels for microphones are balanced electro-
nically, with XLR standard connectors.
Channel MIC-3 can work like LINE channel, because
it presents a unbalanced auxiliary input with RCA
connectors. Therefore this channel does not com-
mand the Tally light and do not mute the Studio Mo-
nitors (still being assigned to entrance MIC-3).
The floating phantom power of 48 V activates, for the
three channels simultaneously, from the front of the con-
sole. Remember that the dynamic microphones support
without problems 48V of phantom, reason why is possi-
ble to mix dynamic and condenser MIC’s.
2.2.3 Audio outputs
2.2.3.1 PROGRAM AND RECORDING
Program output (PGM) is the main output that takes
the signal that will be emitted to the air. It is balan-
ced, with female TRS connectors (a.k.a. “jack” ¼”).
Recording output (REC) is balanced with TRS 1/4”
connectors.
In order to connect these outputs to an unbalance in-
put, connect
only the (+) terminal, and leaving un-
connected the (-) one.
