Satellite • USB/iOS Broadcast Microphone14
The Satellite has a simple, yet sophisticated direct monitor
system, which provides zero latency monitoring of audio captured
by the microphone.
What is Latency, and what is Zero Latency?
Latency is the delay time between record and playback that is
inherent to computer software when recording and monitoring
simultaneously. Simply stated, when recording, the computer
software needs to recognize the input signal, crunch a bunch
of numbers and then send the signal through to the output.
Depending on several factors like the speed of your computer,
the amount of tracks you’ve recorded, and whether or not you’re
using the effects in the software, this can take a few to several
milliseconds. Even a delay of several milliseconds can sometimes
make it hard for a musician to play on time or may be distracting
when recording. To solve this problem, the Satellite lets you
monitor the microphone signal directly on the headphones without
making the round-trip in and out of the computer. As a result you
hear the input with no latency.
MONITOR ON/OFF Switch
To enable the Direct Monitor, set the MONITOR switch to the ON
position. If you plan to use direct monitoring on the Satellite,
disable software monitoring for the armed (input) tracks.
You may want to turn the Direct Monitor switch off when listening
back to your audio during a mixing session, or if you want to
only hear the captured audio after it has gone through your
computer software effects. To turn the Direct Monitor off, move the
MONITOR switch on the front of the Satellite to the OFF position,
you will hear only the playback from your computer software, with
no input signal.
