Front Panel Connections and Controls

• 48V: The Studio 192-series interfaces provide 48V phantom power
for each microphone preamp. This feature can be individually
enabled for each channel, using this button. When 48V is active, the
blue LED at the top of that channel's meters will illuminate.
WARNING: Phantom power is only required for condenser microphones and
can severely damage dynamic mics, especially ribbon mics. Therefore, switch
phantom power off for all channels where it is not required.

Talkback mic and controls (Studio 192). 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. Studio 192 Mobile users can opt to use
one of their analog inputs for talkback functions within UC Surface..
Input meters. These eight-LED meters show the input level of the analog
inputs on your Studio 192-series interface. 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-series interface 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 (Studio 192). 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. These
functions are available from with UC Surface for both Studio 192 and Studio 192
Mobile users.
• Mono (Studio 192). Press this button to sum the Main stereo output signal to
mono. The mono function is available from with UC Surface for both Studio 192
and Studio 192 Mobile users.
Power User Tip: Use the Mono feature to verify mono compatibility
and to check for phase cancellation in your stereo mixes.
