The Front Panel

For the cleanest recording, adjust the Gain so the level reaches at least -6 on the Input Bargraph Meter, but never lights the Clip LED on the loudest sound you’ll be recording. If you see the Peak LED light constantly, turn the Gain knob down until it flashes only occa- sionally, on the loudest part of the performance.

DO NOT TURN

THe FRONT PaneL

The Lambda Studio™ front panel offers the following features:

Mic 1-2 Gain

These knobs adjust the input gain levels of the Mic 1 and Mic 2 inputs.

Line 1-2 Gain

These knobs adjust the input gain levels of the Line 1 and Line 2 inputs.

Peak LEDs

These LEDs light when the input signal is within 5dB of analog clipping. If the Peak LEDs flicker occasionally, the signal is approaching clipping levels, but does not neces- sarily indicate distortion or actual clipping.

Monitor Assign

These buttons select whether a pair of analog audio sources will be heard in stereo or mono in the Direct Monitor Mix. In Stereo mode, the left inputs (Mic 1, Line 1) are routed to the left monitor and right (Mic 2, Line 2) inputs are routed to the right monitor.

In Mono mode, you’ll hear the selected inputs in the center of the Direct Monitor Mix through the Headphone or Line outputs.

When a Monitor switch is in Mono, it does not change the signals going to the com- puter in any way—they will still be separate and stereo in the computer.
