  • Page 3: Micreator Studio

    MiCreator Studio is a studio microphone with USB-C® connection to the partner device (such as computer, tablet, mobile phone, etc.). In addition to a primary headphone output, MiCreator Studio has another jack that can be used both as a second headphone output or to connect the included instrument cable to record two signals simultaneously.

    Sony PS4™/PS5™ Note: Since the complete signal processing and monitoring is implemented analogue in the device, the USB-C® socket can also be supplied by a USB power supply (not included) and MiCreator Studio can be used as an analogue microphone.
  • Page 5: Plugging In Headphones And Starting Up

    If an additional device is connected to the “in/out” jack of MiCreator Studio, moving the LED dot to the right (by turning the jog wheel clockwise) causes that signal to be played louder at the headphone output. These can be, for example, a synthesizer (connected via the included instrument cable), MiCreator Satellite or the MiCreator Y-Lav lavalier microphone.
  • Page 6: Adjusting The Microphone Gain

    Adjusting the microphone gain On the front of the MiCreator Studio, there is a three-way switch for microphone gain. If this is at the lowest "mute" position, the visible red marking on the switch signals that the microphone is muted on the input side. This is a so-called hardware mute – i.e., regardless of any other mute functions in conference software for example, no microphone signal is transmitted to the headphones or to an end device via the USB-C®...

As soon as the accessory has been connected, its signal is transmitted to the end device on the right channel via the USB-C®...
  • Page 8: Additional Input Gain For Signal Transmission Via The Usb-C® Connection

    Additional input gain for signal transmission via the USB-C® connection The two-way input gain of MiCreator was chosen so that the signal can be recorded at a good level but still has enough headroom to avoid distortion. If more gain is needed (e.g., to guarantee a good quality in conferencing software), MiCreator Studio can provide up to 15dB additional analogue gain.
  • Page 9 On the iPad® or iPhone®, the additional input gain can be set, for example, using the “Steinberg Cubasis LE” app included within the scope of supply, which is activated by MiCreator Studio. The app needs to be downloaded from the App Store and MiCreator Studio must be connected to the device.
