OMEGA
™
TO CONNECT AN ANALOG AUDIO SOURCE:
1. Plug an XLR or TRS 1/4" phone cable directly into the desired Mic/Line Input
on the Omega Studio. The Mic Inputs accept XLR connectors, the Line Inputs accept
TS or TRS connectors.
TO ACTIvATE PHANTOM POWER:
If your microphone requires phantom power, first make sure the microphone is
connected, then press the Phantom Power switch (labeled +48V). The +48V LED
on the front panel indicates the phantom power is active. If your mics don't need
phantom power, it is best to turn it off.
USING THE ANALOG INSERTS:
The analog inserts require a 1/4" TRS to 2 x 1/4" TS adapter cable. The signal from
the tip should be routed to the input of your outboard processor and the output of your
processor should be routed to the ring.
DIGITAL AUDIO:
Digital audio represents analog waveforms using thousands of digital samples of the
analog waveforms each second. All audio on your hard drive in a Cubase ® LE 4 ses-
sion is digital audio.
The Omega provides digital inputs and outputs for S/PDIF format digital audio.
CONNECTING A S/PDIF DEvICE TO THE OMEGA:
1. Use two 75 Ohm coaxial cables with male RCA connectors on both ends.
2. Connect the device's S/PDIF output to the Omega Studio's S/PDIF input jack,
and the device's S/PDIF input to the Omega Studio's S/PDIF output jack.
3. To transfer S/PDIF digital audio to the computer, press the S/PDIF ASSIGN switch on
the front panel, and set the Cubase LE 4 software to record from USB inputs 1 and
2.
CONNECTING A RECORdER FOR MIxdOWN
After you record and mix your sessions in either Cubase LE 4 or other recording
software, you may want to mix them down to a DAT, audio cassette, or other stereo
2-track recording device.
CONNECTING AN ANALOG DECK:
Connect your recorder (cassette deck or other analog device) to the Line Outputs
on the back of the Omega. The Left and Right Line Outputs should be routed to the left
and right inputs, respectively, on your recorder. These outputs are TRS jacks. You may
need adapter cables if your mixdown deck has RCA jack inputs.
To hear the mix through control room speakers, connect the outputs of the analog
deck to the inputs of the amplifier. Adjust the control room level using the output
level of the analog deck or the input level of the control room amplifier.
CONNECTING A DIGITAL DECK:
If you have a DAT, CD recorder, or other device that accepts S/PDIF connections,
connect it to the S/PDIF In and S/PDIF Out RCA jacks on the back of the Omega.
