1 1 . . M M i i c c / / I I n n s s t t r r u u m m e e n n t t I I n n p p u u t t s s 1 1 a a n n d d 2 2 – These combo Neutrik connectors will accept a standard three pin XLR low impedance input or 1/4" TS
or TRS instrument level input.
2 2 . . P P a a d d S S w w i i t t c c h h e e s s 1 1 a a n n d d 2 2 – Pressing and engaging this switch in the IN position inserts a 20dB pad before the microphone preamp,
lowering the input level. Use this pad when the input level of your analog signal is too hot – as indicated by the illumination of the Clip
LED even with the Input Gain at its lowest setting.
3 3 . . I I n n p p u u t t G G a a i i n n s s 1 1 a a n n d d 2 2 – These knobs control the input level of the associated Mic/Inst input.
4 4 . . S S i i g g n n a a l l L L E E D D s s 1 1 a a n n d d 2 2 – When lit, the Signal LEDs indicate the presence of input signal at the associated Mic/Instrument input.
5 5 . . C C l l i i p p L L E E D D s s 1 1 a a n n d d 2 2 – When lit, the Clip LEDs indicate too hot an input signal at the associated Mic/Inst input. The LED will light when the
signal is 3dB below the clipping point. If the Clip LED lights even with your channel Input Gain is at its lowest possible setting, you may
want to insert a 20dB pad into the path by pressing the associated PAD switch.
6 6 . . D D i i r r e e c c t t M M o o n n i i t t o o r r E E n n a a b b l l e e 1 1 & & 2 2 S S w w i i t t c c h h – In the OUT position, OmniStudio USB outputs 1 and 2 monitor the output from your audio software.
Pressing this switch and engaging it in the IN position monitors the audio directly from OmniStudio USB's Inputs 1 and 2, giving you zero-
latency monitoring.
7 7 . . D D i i r r e e c c t t M M o o n n i i t t o o r r L L e e v v e e l l 1 1 – With Direct Monitor Enable 1 and 2 switch in the IN position, this knob controls the level of audio from input 1,
which is sent to the Direct Monitor bus.
8 8 . . S S t t e e r r e e o o / / M M o o n n o o 1 1 & & 2 2 S S w w i i t t c c h h – With Direct Monitor Enable 1 and 2 switch in the IN position, pressing this switch and engaging it in the IN
position selects MONO mode, where the direct monitored signals for Inputs 1 and 2 are monitored as separate mono inputs, panned to
center. Pressing this switch and engaging it in the OUT position selects STEREO mode, where the direct monitored signal for Inputs 1 and
2 are monitored as a L/R stereo pair.
9 9 . . D D i i r r e e c c t t M M o o n n i i t t o o r r L L e e v v e e l l 2 2 – With Direct Monitor Enable 1 and 2 switch in the IN position, this knob controls the level of audio from input 2
which is sent to the Direct Monitor bus.
1 1 0 0 . . D D i i r r e e c c t t M M o o n n i i t t o o r r E E n n a a b b l l e e 3 3 & & 4 4 S S w w i i t t c c h h – In the OUT position, OmniStudio USB outputs 3 and 4 monitor the output from your audio software.
Pressing this switch and engaging it in the IN position monitors the audio directly from OmniStudio USB's Inputs 3 and 4, giving you zero-
latency monitoring.
1 1 1 1 . . D D i i r r e e c c t t M M o o n n i i t t o o r r L L e e v v e e l l 3 3 – With Direct Monitor Enable 3 and 4 switch in the IN position, this knob controls the level of audio from input 3
which is sent to the Direct Monitor bus.
1 1 2 2 . . S S t t e e r r e e o o / / M M o o n n o o 3 3 & & 4 4 S S w w i i t t c c h h – With Direct Monitor Enable 3 and 4 switch in the IN position, pressing this switch and engaging it in the
IN position selects MONO mode, where the direct monitored signals for Inputs 3 and 4 are monitored as separate mono inputs, panned
to center. Pressing this switch and engaging it in the OUT position selects STEREO mode, where the direct monitored signal for Inputs 3
