Talkback mic and controls. The Studio 192 features an onboard talkback
microphone. Press the Talk button to patch the signal to the selected mixes. To
control the level of the onboard Talkback mic, select the “c” (Comm) channel in the
preamp control section and use the encoder to adjust the level.
Power User Tip: Routing for the talkback microphone can be controlled from UC Surface.
Please refer to Section 4 for more information.
Input meters. These eight-LED meters show the input level of the eight analog
inputs on your Studio 192. The green LEDs will illuminate when the input signal
ranges from -50 dBFS to -6 dBFS. The yellow LEDs will illuminate when the
input signal ranges from -4 dBFS to -2 dBFS. The red Clip LED will illuminate
when your input signal reaches -0.5 dBFS. At this level, the signal will begin to
overload the analog-to-digital converters and exhibit signs of clipping. Use the
gain controls to keep the signal below this level.
Main. The main knob controls the output level for the main outputs on the back of
the Studio 192 and has a range of -80 dB to 0 dB. This control provides attenuation
only.
• Meters. These meters display the signal level received from Driver returns 1 and 2
(Main Left/Right). These meters have the same range as the input meters (-50
dBFS to -0.5 dBFS) and are before the main output level control.
• Dim / Mute. This button controls both the Dim and Mute functions for the Main
Outputs. Press the button and release it to lower the outputs signal by 20 dB. Press
and hold the button to Mute the Main Output signal. The button will illuminate
yellow when Dim is active and red when Mute is active.
• Mono. Press this button to sum the Main stereo output signal to mono.
Power User Tip: Use the Mono feature to verify mono compatibility
and to check for phase cancellation in your stereo mixes.
Headphones 1 and 2. Your Studio 192 provides two headphone outputs, each with
its own level control. Each headphone output is provided with its own unique output
stream to route audio directly from your DAW (playback streams 11-12 and 13-14).
From UC Surface, any mix can be routed to either headphone output.
