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.

7FireWire/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.

8Valid 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.

9Output Level control

Sets the output level and overrules the level previously set by the Studio Kontrol remote.

10Phantom 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.

There are 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.
