Building A Monitoring Environment - Steinberg AXR4T Operation Manual

Building a Monitoring Environment

This section describes the process used to
build a monitoring environment for a vocalist
and an engineer when recording vocals.
The example used in this section assumes the
following.
• Computer and AXR4 settings have been
complete. Monitor speakers have been
connected to the AXR4 and have been set to
an appropriate volume.
• A vocal recording mix balance has been
established on the DAW.
• If the DAW has a direct monitoring function,
it has been turned off.
NOTICE
Follow the cautions described below to avoid
damage and noise being introduced to the product
and peripheral devices when connecting devices.
• Turn the phantom power off
connecting a device that does not support
phantom power to the MIC/LINE/HI-Z [1]/[2] jack or
the MIC/LINE [3]/[4] jack.
• Do not connect or disconnect cables to/from the
MIC/LINE/HI-Z [1]/[2] jacks or the MIC/LINE [3]/[4]
jacks while the phantom power is on. The [+48V]
indicator will flash for several seconds when
phantom power is turned off. Wait until this
indicator stops flashing before plugging in or
taking out cables.
• Turn the phantom power on and off when the
[MUTE] key on the front of the AXR4 device is on.
• Set the routing when the [MUTE] key on the front
of the AXR4 device is on.
