section 1 Introduction
Studio Monitor Express (SME) is a powerful and flexible audio monitoring software ap-
plication that runs on your workstation or a dedicated computer and controls the rout-
ing between applications, external inputs, and Core Audio compliant hardware. SME is
a software version of a typical mixing console's master and communications section
and provides a professional surround sound monitor mixer with two 5.1-speaker out-
puts and one stereo output (each with level, cut, and talkback controls). SME outputs
are routed to the audio I/O hardware and can be controlled from the Artist device's
monitor section. SME can also listen to external inputs without another application
open.
NOTE: Be aware that Studio Monitor Express does use additional CPU resources beyond EuControl,
so if you do not require these advanced features (or your audio interface software already
provides this functionality), there is no need to install SME.
SME is included as a separate installer on the EuControl CD-ROM that shipped with
your unit. It includes a Euphonix Monitor Core Audio Driver to integrate with Mac ap-
plications you wish to use with SME.
