Hardware Features - Focusrite Audio Engineering vocaster one studio User Manual

OVERVIEW

Hardware features

Vocaster One Studio includes a Vocaster One
audio interface, a Vocaster DM1 dynamic
microphone, Vocaster HP60v headphones and
access to all the necessary software to get
you started as quickly as possible.
The Vocaster One hardware interface allows
you to connect a high quality microphone
to a computer running macOS or Windows:
this will let you achieve a much better audio
recording than you would get by using the
microphone built into most laptops or tablets.
The microphone input accepts a range of
microphone models, including both dynamic
and condenser types. If you are using a
condenser microphone, Vocaster One can
provide the phantom power (48V) it needs
to work.
The Vocaster DM1 dynamic microphone
has been designed specifically for speech
recording, but you can use any microphone of
your choice if you prefer.

The microphone signal routes to your
computer's audio recording software via the
USB-C connection at up to 24-bit resolution,
and 48 kHz sample rate. (24-bit/48 kHz is the
standard for most podcasts.)
If you don't already have recording software,
we recommend Hindenburg. This is included
in the software package available to you free
of charge as a Vocaster owner.
A 3.5 mm jack socket allows you to connect
a phone to Vocaster One: a second, similar
socket allows connection to a video camera.
The phone connector is a TRRS: TRRS means
you get audio both in and out of the phone,
so you can record audio from the phone,
and the phone can also hear the other audio
sources you are recording to your show.
Tell the world
Vocaster One has outputs for both
headphones and speakers: a front panel ¼'
TRS socket for headphones and two rear
panel ¼' TRS sockets for connection
to speakers. A set of Vocaster HP60v
professional quality headphones is included
with your Studio pack.
The top panel has knobs for microphone gain
and listening level. The microphone control is
surrounded by "halo" meters, showing both
the microphone signal level and the gain
setting. Three illuminated buttons mute the
microphone, activate the Enhance feature and
start the Auto Gain function. There are also
LEDs to show when phantom power and the
USB connection are active.
