Set your Levels and Record! 4

4.0 Set your Levels and Record!

Before you begin, there are a few general rules

of thumb that we recommend you follow:

• Always turn both the Main and Phones knobs on the

front panel down before making connections.

• Before plugging or unplugging a microphone or

engaging phantom power, make sure the trim level

has been turned all the way down for that channel.

• Do not allow your inputs to clip. Watch the clip LEDs;

when these LEDs turn red, they are indicating that

the analog-to-digital converters are being overdriven.

Overdriving the converters will cause digital distortion,

which sounds terrible and cannot be undone.

• Your studio equipment should be powered

on in the following order:

A. Sound sources (guitars, microphones, etc.)

connected to the AudioBox inputs

B. AudioBox USB and computer

C. Power amplifiers or powered monitors

When it’s time to power down, your system

should be turned oﬀ in the reverse order.

Now that you know what not to do,

let’s get some audio going!
