Owner’s Manual
Power button and Sync light. The lighted ring around the power button of your
Studio 192 is a clock source / sync indicator. It lets you know if you unit is receiving
word clock correctly.
• Blue. When this light is blue, your Studio 192 is correctly
synced via USB, word clock, ADAT, or S/PDIF
• Flashing red and blue. When this light flashes between
blue and red, your Studio 192 is either not synced to your
computer or its external clock source is not present.
Power User Tip: Word clock is the timing signal with which digital devices sync frame
rates. Proper word clock sync prevents digital devices from having pops, clicks, and
distortion in the audio signal due to mismatched digital audio transmission. In general,
you will use your Studio 192 as the master clock in your studio; it provides high-quality
word clock for this purpose. However, if you would like to use another device as the master
clock, you can set the input source for clocking in UC Surface (see Section 4.6 for details).

Line Inputs 3-6. The ¼-inch TRS connectors on Channels 3-6 are for use with line-
level devices. These inputs are scaled to accept line-level signals up to +18 dBFS.
Power User Tip: When these inputs are engaged, the microphone preamp circuit is
bypassed completely, and no trim control is available. Typical examples of line-level
connections are synthesizer outputs, signal processors, and stand-alone mic preamps
and channel strips. Use the output level control on your line-level device to adjust its level.
Line Output 1-8. The Studio 192 has eight line balanced line outputs to route
to external devices, such as headphone amps, signal processors, and additional
monitors. Each output has an independent playback stream (playback streams 3-10).
Main Outs. These are the main outputs for the Studio 192. The output level of the
Main Outputs is controlled by the Main level control on the front of the unit. Like the
eight line outputs, the main outputs have independent playback streams (playback
streams 1-2).
