12. Comp. Switch
The COMP bypass/active switch bypasses all compressor controls and passes the input signal to the output. This only
works when the system is powered ON.
13. VU Meter and Selector Switch
Gain reduction or output level monitoring can be by selected for the function you need to be displayed on the Analog VU
meter. The VU METER switch selects the source of the audio for this meter. The ballistics characteristic of the meter pro-
vides an accurate indication of the average signal level.
• GAIN REDUCTION Mode - the meter sits at 0 VU unless the compressor requires gain reduction. As gain
reduction increases the meter pointer drops. The upper scale indicates the gain (dB) of reduction.
• OUTPUT Mode - the upper markings of the meter read the dB output level. 0 VU indicates that the output level is
+4dBu (1.23V RMS) when the output level switch is set to +4dBu and -10dBV (0.316V RMS) when set to -10dBV.
14. Meter Trim
The Meter Trim is used to adjust the Meter's "0" point. This may change if the unit is NOT mounted flat to the floor.
Note: The Trim pot is mechanically operated and can be adjusted/calibrated when the unit is not powered. Set at the
mark just below the "0" mark on the meter when idle.
15. Master Control
The output signal level at the rear output jacks is adjusted by this control. It can provide from +15dB of gain (fully clockwise).

1. I/O Level Switch
The I/O LEVEL switch optimizes the output level of the Solo Studio depending on the equipment you are driving.
Note: When this switch is in the out position, the balanced output measures -10dBV (about 0.316V RMS) and reads
"0" on the VU meter. This is the appropriate setting when connecting to most semi-pro or consumer equipment. When
depressed, the XLR output of the unit measures +4dBu (about 1.23 Volts RMS) and reads "0" on the VU Meter. Use
this setting when connecting up to professional line level gear.
2. Balanced Inputs
The Solo Studio provides both an XLR and ¼-inch input jacks, both jacks are balanced. The ¼-inch jack can be used with
either balanced or unbalanced signals, simply plug in an unbalanced cable for this feature.
3. Balanced Outputs
The output of the Solo Studio is available on both the balanced ¼-inch TRS jack and XLR jacks. This output is active bal-
anced. The output has a 100 Ohm impedance into a balanced or unbalanced load.
Note: The analog VU meter monitors the level present at this output. "0" VU on the analog VU meter corresponds to
+4dBu (about 1.23 Volts RMS).
4. Comp In (Loop Insert)
The unbalanced ¼-inch T/S COMP IN/RETURN jack is a direct input to the EQ and dynamics processing sections of the
Solo Studio. This input can be used in conjunction with the PREAMP OUT jack to insert external signal processors be-
tween the preamp section and the dynamics processing of the Solo Studio.
5. Preamp Out (Loop Insert) Jack
The unbalanced ¼-inch T/S PREAMP OUT/Send jack provides a direct signal from the microphone preamplifier, ahead of
the EQ and dynamics processor.
6. IEC Power Connector
The Solo Studio has an internal power supply designed to operate at 100 to 240V~, 50/60Hz. Units manufactured for use
outside of the United States of America have been modified to comply with the required electrical specifications. Under no
circumstances should the power cable be altered. If the cable becomes cut or damaged, discontinue its use and have it
replaced before operating the Solo STUDIO.
The power source must provide a good ground connection, and the ground pin on the mains plug should never be defeated.
