Hookup Diagram
The Big Knob Studio
+
is similar to the Big Knob Studio, but with a few more bells and whistles.
No time to waste, let’s get started! 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 are connected to an external mixer’s Control
Room (CR) output jacks, playing whatever sounds / sources are fed into the mixer. Likewise, the Cue
In (Aux Mix) jacks are connected to the same mixer’s Alt 3/4 output jacks.
Continuing on, the Source Input 5/6 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.
Now onto the output section. Here we connected a pair of XR Series studio monitors to the Mon
Output A L/R jacks, a pair of MR Series studio monitors to the Mon Output B L/R jacks and an MRS10
subwoofer to Mon Output C L/R jacks. A headphone amp with multiple sets of headphones is connected
to the Studio / Phones Amp L/R output jacks. Additionally, two sets of headphones are connected to the
two phones outputs on the Big Knob Studio
+
s front panel.
The 2-Track L/R output jacks are connected to the mixer’s 1/4" L/R line input jacks so signal
may now be sent back and forth between the Big Knob Studio
+
and mixer! 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
