Big Knob Studio Hookup Diagram
Typical Big Knob Studio Setup
Don’t be fooled...while the Big Knob Studio
+
may have a few more bells and whistles, the Big
Knob Studio is no slouch! It, too, is packed with a ton of great features as outlined on the previous page.
After you’ve found a good home for the Big Knob Studio, it’s time to make all the connections.
In this example, a microphone is connected to XLR input 1 (L) and a guitar to 1/4" input 2 (R).
The Source Input 3/4 jacks may accept 1/4" inputs (on the rear panel) and an 1/8" stereo input
(on the front panel). They may be connected simultaneously, but not used simultaneously. If both
inputs have connections, the 1/8” stereo line input will take priority over the 1/4” inputs. Here
we hooked up a 2-track player to the 1/4" inputs and a smartphone to the 1/8" stereo line input jack.
The output section is as straightforward as the input section. Here we connected a pair of
XR Series studio monitors to the Mon Output A L/R jacks and a pair of MR Series studio monitors
to the Mon Output B L/R jacks. Additionally, two sets of headphones are connected to the two phones
outputs on the Big Knob Studio’s front panel and the 2-Track L/R output jacks are connected to the mixer’s
1/4” L/R line input jacks. Lastly, a computer installed with your favorite DAW is connected to the USB
port on the rear panel.
Now that connections have been made, the fun begins! The top panel has a variety of switches,
buttons and something else...what was it? Oh yeah, a BIG knob, dead center! These allow you to select
between the inputs, outputs, set levels and more. Descriptions of the Big Knob Studio features starts
on page 9.
