Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio (Second Generation) Benutzeranleitung

The .front .panel .input .sockets .are .“Combo” .type, .which .accept .either .an .XLR .male .connector .(you .will .

probably .have .one .on .the .end .of .your .microphone .cable) .or .a .¼” .(6.35 .mm) .jack .plug. .If .you .are .using .

a .capacitor .(or .“condenser”) .microphone, .you .will .need .to .turn .on .the .48 .V .phantom .power. .Phantom .

power .should .NOT .be .on .when .other .types .of .microphone .– .e.g., .dynamic .or .ribbon .- .are .in .use.

Note .the .Scarlett .2i2 .has .no .“Mic/line” .switch .– .the .Focusrite .preamplifier .stage .is .automatically .

configured .for .a .microphone .when .you .plug .an .XLR .into .the .input, .and .for .a .line .or .instrument .when .

you .connect .a .jack .plug. .Set .the .LINE/INST .switch .next .to .the .socket .to .INST .if .you .are .connecting .

musical .instrument .(a .guitar .in .the .example) .via .an .ordinary .2-pole .(TS) .guitar .jack, .or .to .LINE .if .

you .are .connecting .a .line .level .source .such .as .a .keyboard, .synthesiser .or .the .balanced .output .of .an .

external .audio .mixer .via .a .3-pole .(TRS) .jack. .Note .the .Combo .connector .accepts .both .TRS .and .TS .

types .of .jack .plug.

Recording with a microphone

The .Scarlett .Studio .CM25 .MkII .microphone .supplied .with .Scarlett .Studio .is .a .studio .quality .condenser .

mic .which .is .ideal .for .recording .vocals .and .most .acoustic .instruments. .Connect .the .CM25 .MkII .to .

one .of .the .Scarlett .2i2’s .two .front .panel .inputs .with .the .cable .supplied. .Note .that .the .cable .has .a .

male .and .a .female .connector; .the .female .end .connects .to .the .microphone .and .the .male .end .into .the . .

Scarlett .2i2.

Condenser .microphones .(also .sometimes .referred .to .as .“capacitor” .microphones) .require .a .source .

of . DC . power . to . operate. . This . is . almost . always . supplied . by . “phantom” . powering . from . the . mic . .

pre-amp . to . which . the . mic . is . connected . (early . and . special-purpose . condenser . mics . might . have .

a . separate . power . supply). . For . the . CM25 . MkII . (or . any . other . condenser . mic) . to . work . with . the . .

Scarlett .2i2, .press .the .48V .button .on .the .front .panel .(see .front .panel .diagram .on .page .14 .item .[3]). .

We .recommend .that .you .follow .the .following .sequence:

• . Turn .the .input .gain .[2] .to .minimum

• . Connect .the .microphone

• . Press .the .48V .button

• . Increase .the .input .gain .to .the .required .level

Enabling .the .Scarlett .2i2’s .phantom .power .applies .48 .V .DC .to .the .XLR .portion .of .BOTH .inputs. .

If .you .are .only .using .a .single .microphone, .do .not .plug .anything .else .(like .the .balanced .output .

of .another .item .of .equipment) .into .the .other .input .with .an .XLR .connector. .Applying .48 .V .to .the .

output .circuitry .of .other .equipment .may .permanently .damage .it. .The .other .input .is .perfectly .

safe .to .use .with .a .TRS .jack .plug.
