Headphones Outputs. Your Studio 192-series interface provides two/one
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
(Studio 192: playback streams 11-12 and 13-14, Studio 192 Mobile: playback streams
7-8). From UC Surface, any mix can be routed to either headphone output.
Cue (Studio 192 Mobile). The Cue button allows you to switch between two mixes.
When UC Surface is not accessed, this will toggle between the Headphone streams
(7/8) and the Main Mix streams (1/2). When UC Surface is active, you can choose to
source between any two mixes.
Power button and Sync light. The lighted ring around the power button of your
Studio192-series interface 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-series interface 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-series interface 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-series interface 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 3-8/4. The ¼-inch TRS connectors on Channels 3-8/4 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.
