FRONT PANEL

1 Mic/Inst ch1-4 on combo XLR/Jack

Combo XLR/jack inputs. Both XLR and 1/4 inch jack

can be used with this connector type.

The XLR connection (balanced)

Connect a microphone and you connect directly to the

input of the IMPACT ™ mic preamps.

- For condenser microphones phantom power must

always be activated. (see also #10 on the following

page). It is generally no problem to use dynamic

microphones in combination with phantom power.

- The Input LEDs on meters 1-4 indicate the level of

the input signal. If the red O dB LED (overload) is lit,

your signal is too “hot” and you should reduce the

input gain using the GAIN TRIM potentiometer and/or

the the PAD/-20 dB switch for that channel.

The 1/4 jack connection

The 1/4 “jack part” of the connector is a high quality

unbalanced Hi-Z circuit that is designed especially for

direct connection of a passive guitar pick-up system (e.g.

Strat-type) directly. If you want to connect balanced

equipment using TRS jacks you should connect via the

line inputs on the rear panel.

PAD

preamp

2 Pad selector

The PAD selector can attenuate the input sensitivity

by 20 dB. If you cannot attenuate the signal

sufficiently using the GAIN/TRIM knob you should use

the -20 dB position. This is typical when connecting

line-level instruments.

3 Gain/Trim

Use this control to set the appropriate input level.

(see previous paragraph).

4 Phones 1/Phones 2

Individual level control for phones output 1 and 2.

5 Headphones connection

Two set of headphones may be connected for

monitoring. Each headphones output has its own level

control. It is also possible to set up an individual mix

for each headphones output via aux 1 on the mixer

page. Please refer to the description of the mixer

page.

Warning!

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and

headphones can cause hearing loss.

FRONT PANEL

6 Meters

Meters 1-4

: Indicate the signal level present on the four

inputs on the front panel.

Meters 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 & 11/12

Indicates the signal preset on the line inputs on the rear

panel. The meters always indicate the loudest/hottest

signal of a channel pair.

Orange LEDs for ADAT, S/PDIF & TOS

The orange LEDs refer to the lock state of the digital

channels. Lock is acheived when the orange LEDs are lit.

Orange LEDs for MIDI:

LEDs for indication of MIDI In/Out.

7 FireWire/Power LED indicator

When Studio Konnekt 48 is hooked up via FireWire,

the blue LED in the right side of the display can

indicate the following:

Steady lit:

Connected to FireWire

Flashing:

Uploading firmware, hardware error or

FireWire communication error.

Off: The Studio Konnekt 48 has no connection

to the driver, maybe because the driver is

not installed.

8 Valid LED

The master output level can be set using either the

physical OUTPUT knob, via the Studio Kontrol remote

or via the TC Near software mixer. If the green LED is

lit, the current position of the knob matches the

actual output level.

9 Output Level control

Sets the output level and overrules the level previously

set by the Studio Kontrol remote.

10 Phantom Power +48V

The XLR part of the Combo XLR/Jack connections

features +48V phantom power when this switch is set

to on. Phantom power is used to power line-drivers

and condenser microphones.

Ther

e ar

e three main types of microphones

Condenser microphone

- phantom power required

except for some models that use proprietary power

supplies or built-in batteries. Please check the

microphone's manufacturer specifications for details.

Electrodynamic microphone

- phantom power is not

required, but does not harm the microphone.

Ribbon microphones

phantom power could damage

the microphone. Seek advice and documentation from

the manufacturer of the microphone!

Only the condenser type requires phantom power.

It is, however, no problem combining a condenser

microphone in e.g. ch. 1, with a standard

electrodynamic microphone (such as e.g. a Shure

SM57) in ch. 2. Nor is it any problem to activate

phantom power and use a condenser microphone to

one input and connect a guitar using a 1/4 jack one

of the other inputs, as phantom power only

concerns

the XLR connections.
