ation Guide

3.  Connect the MONITOR A output jacks

on the 

rear panel of Big Knob to a pair of active studio 

monitors (or the inputs of an amplifier that is 

powering a pair of passive studio monitors). 

These will be located at your mixing position. 

If you know whether the inputs to the active 

studio monitors (or amplifier) accept a –10 dBV 

(consumer) or +4 dBu input level, set the trim 

control

above the MONITOR A output jacks 

to the appropriate position. Otherwise, leave it 

at the –10 dBV position for now. You can con-

nect additional speakers to the MONITOR B

and MONITOR C

output jacks so you can hear 

your mix through different types of speakers.

4.  If you have a separate studio for recording, 

connect the STUDIO OUTS

to a pair of active 

studio monitors (or the inputs of an amplifier that 

is powering a pair of passive studio monitors). 

These will be located in studio for the talent. 

Set the trim control

above the STUDIO OUTS 

output jacks to the appropriate position, or leave 

it at the –10 dBV position if you’re not sure.

5.  If you have a headphone distribution amplifier 

for monitoring while recording, connect the 

PHONES AMP

output jacks to the inputs 

of the headphone amp. Set the +4/–10 level 

switch

above the PHONES AMP output 

jacks to the appropriate position, or leave it at 

the –10 position (pushed in) if you’re not sure.

6.  Connect the 2-TRACK A

outputs to the line-

level inputs of any recording device, like a DAT 

or cassette recorder. This allows you to record 

from your DAW to the recorder. Set the +4/–10 

level switch

above the 2-TRACK A output 

jacks to the appropriate position, or leave it at 

the –10 position (pushed in) if you’re not sure.

7.  Connect the line-level outputs from the DAT or 

cassette recorder to the 2-TRACK A

inputs.

8.  Connect the DAW

output jacks on the rear 

panel of Big Knob to the stereo inputs of your 

DAW’s audio interface. This allows you to 

record from the 2-TRACK recorder back to your 

DAW. Set the +4/–10 level switch

above the 

DAW output jacks to the appropriate position, 

or leave it at the –10 position (pushed in) if 

you’re not sure.

1.  With everything off, turn on Big Knob’s POWER 

switch first.

2.  Turn on all other external power amplifiers, active 

speakers, and headphone amplifiers.

3.  Start playback on your DAW and play some-

thing you’ve already recorded (or a demo track). 

You want to be able to listen to it over the moni-

tor speakers connected to Big Knob.

4.  Press the DAW MIX

button in the INPUT 

SOURCE SELECT section on the front panel. 

The LED above the DAW MIX button should 

light.

5.  Press the MONITOR A

button in the MONITOR 

SELECT section on the front panel. The LED 

above the MONITOR A button should light.

6.  If you know whether your DAW’s audio inter-

face output is at a –10 dBV level (consumer) or a 

+4 dBu level (pro), set the +4/–10 level switch

for the DAW MIX

inputs to the appropri-

ate position. If you don’t know, leave it out (in 

the +4 dBu position). We can change it later if 

we need to.

7.  Slowly turn up the trim control

for the DAW 

MIX input until you see the meters

on the 

front panel lighting and dancing happily. Adjust 

the control until the meters are lighting the “0” 

LED regularly. You want the “+8” LED to light 

only occasionally, and the “OL” LED to not light 

at all.

8.  If you can’t adjust the trim control far enough 

to get the signal level up to the 0 and +5 LEDs 

on the meter, turn the trim control all the way 

down, push in the +4/–10 level switch for the 

DAW MIX input, and slowly turn up the trim 

control again. Now the signal should be strong 

enough to get the 0 and +5 LEDs to light.

9.  Slowly turn up the Big Knob VOLUME

control. You should begin to hear playback from 

your DAW through your studio monitor speak-

ers. Adjust the VOLUME control to a comfort-

able listening level. If it seems like you have to 

turn up the VOLUME control all the way to hear 

the monitor speakers, turn down the VOLUME 

control and check to see if the trim control
