The device can be operated on a mains voltage of 100 – 240 VAC / 50-60 Hz. The mains connection is made with an external wall plug transformer (switching power supply) which delivers the operating voltage for the StudioCube. Primary mains adaptors, which are optionally available, ensure a worldwide use of the device.
User Manual INTRODUCTION We thank you for your trust which you have shown us with the purchase of the StudioCube. The StudioCube has been designed to give the demanding musician a detailed and transparent monitoring experience in the studio or on stage. The perfect combination of high-grade technology and practical features makes the StudioCube the perfect partner for your monitoring applications.
Then pack the whole issue in a solid cardBoard box. SETUP Always put the StudioCube on a solid base. Alternatively you can mount the unit on a stand or under a table by using the optional yoke. Its compact size and low weight make the StudioCube also very easy to transport.
3. Connect the monitor outputs of your mixing desk or signal source to the inputs (IN L/R) of the des StudioCube. For this use either the XLR or jack sockets. More on cabling see pages 9/13. 4. Turn the level control (VOLUME) fully counterclockwise (minimum).
• The “OK“ LED indicates a present input signal and will go on when this signal reaches a level of -30 dBu. • The “OL“ LED (Overload) will go on when the input signal exceeds +15 dBu. The StudioCube still has approx. 7 dB as reserve (headroom) below its maximum level of +22 dBu then.
At the THRU output the input signal (IN) is passively decoupled. Therefore if you connect unbalanced cable links (mono jack) to the THRU output of the StudioCube, all other signals will be passed on unbalanced; even if balanced cables are partly used.
User Manual DEVICE CONFIGURATION Via internal jumpers the basic gain (+6 dB) of the StudioCube can be increased by another +6 dB and is thus adaptable to various headphone models. In case of hum problems, the signal ground (GND) may also be detached from the housing ground (EARTH).
StudioCube User Manual Headphones/Sensitivity When it comes to studio headphones, we are confronted with an immense variety of choice. Standard headphone models have an impedance between 30 ohms and 600 ohms. Notwithstanding the above, headphones have very different sensitivity specs and thus convert the signal voltage delivered by the headphone amplifier more or less efficiently into acoustic energy.
StudioCube User Manual Aural Strain But no matter how much we love music listening – especially when using headphones we should definitely pay attention to the healthiness of our own ears. A prolonged overstressing by loud listening volume levels will only do damage to our hearing. So we’d rather lower the listening volume and go easy on our sensitive organ, because healthy ears are...
In some cases it can happen that there are not enough stereo channels available to act as source signals. The StudioCube can also be driven by a mono signal then. To avoid a single-sided channel reproduction in the headphone, the MONO switch must be activated.
Stand Mounting For a universal mounting of the StudioCube, e.g. in a rack tray, we have also built in four M3 insert nuts on the bottom side of the device.
State of the Art To ensure the highest audio quality, Lehmannaudio devices are constantly updated to the latest state of the art.
