This chapter gives you an overview of typical applications for the USB Studio D Mk. II.
6.1
Nowadays, the computer is the hub of the home recording studio. There are many reasons for
this including ease of editing, clarity, digital transfer to CD etc. Traditionally, most computer
soundcards do not offer professional connectivity for microphones, turntables and the like. A
professional audio interface is required to provide these features. In the case of the turntables,
a seperate phono pre-amp is also required to record your analog vinyl records to your PC for
CD transfer. The USB Studio D Mk. II has been designed to cator for many of these needs.
The USB Studio D Mk. II provides a solution for users needing to connect a multitude of
different devices including condenser microphones which require phantom power, turntables,
keyboards, sound modules and even 2 sets of headphones for monitoring to any 2ch recording
device. This includes the computer, DAT recorders, MD recorders, etc.
With its professional 24bit USB audio interface, the USB Studio D Mk. II connects directly to
your computer, eliminating the need for an additional soundcard. Any modern computer has a
USB interface, from normal desktop systems to laptop / notebook computers. This allows you
to use the USB Studio D Mk. II even away from your home studio "on the road" if required.

manual.
Step 3

channel you are using to send the signal to the USB interface to your computer. This will

of the input level meters of your recording software to make sure that you are recording at an
acceptable value.
