OVERVIEW

Input/Output Description

On-Board

Microphones

Your GoStudio comes with a set of on-board stereo microphones (or

“mics”)thatcanbeusedtocaptureaudio.Soundsthatarepickedupby

the mic on the left are mixed to the left stereo channel. Sounds picked up

by the mic on the right are mixed to the right stereo channel.

The microphones are unidirectional, which means that each mic tends to

focus on audio from sources that the mic is pointing toward. Notice that the

microphones tend to point away from the GoStudio body at approximately

45 degrees. This allows the microphones to capture stereo recordings

accurately.

If you want to enhance the directionality of the microphones, you can

rotate each mic to point toward a sound source that you want to capture.

For example, when recording an interview, you can rotate one microphone

toward the interviewee and the other microphone toward yourself.

The on-board mics are quite sensitive. Depending on the loudness

of the sounds you want to record, as well as the settings of your

GoStudio controls, you may need to make sure the microphones

aren’t too close to the subject you’re recording.

Combo Jacks

Inputs labeled combo 01 and combo 02arecombination(or“combo”)

jacksthatletyouconnecteitheranXLRtypeconnectorora¼”connector.

These connectors are typically used to connect dynamic microphones

totheGoStudio,althoughthe¼”inputjackswillacceptline-levelsignals

as well.

Each input jack accepts a mono input signal, which can be balanced or

unbalanced.

The combo 01 input is routed to the left channel of the stereo mix and

the combo 02 input is routed to the right channel. If you would prefer

not to have the inputs panned all the way to the right or left channel,

or if you’re recording using only one of the two combo jacks, then

switch the GoStudio’s mono control to the on position to create a

mono mix.
