Chapter 9: Studio Monitor Express (Windows)
Studio Monitor Express (SME) is a powerful and flexible audio monitoring software application that runs on your Windows work-
station or a dedicated computer. It controls the routing between applications, external inputs, and ASIO hardware. SME outputs
are routed to the audio I/O hardware and can be controlled from the MC’s Monitors section. SME can be considered a software
version of a mixing console’s master and Comm section.
SME provides a professional surround sound monitor mixer with up to two 5.1-speaker outputs and an additional stereo output
each with level, cut, and talkback controls. SME can also be used to listen to external inputs without any other application open.
SME can be installed (optional) during the workstation EUCON software installation.
