Config
The Config tab displays the current sample rate, sets various levels, and enables the hardware inputs and outputs that patch to
sources and destinations.
Set Dim Level This sets the attenuation amount (in dB) for the program signal when using the talkback function.
Set Fixed Level This sets the fixed output level, which is selectable in the Main tab for the Control Room output. This is useful for
setups that have been calibrated to a specific db level and must maintain a fixed output level.
CPU Usage This meter shows SME’s CPU usage.
Sample Rate This shows the current sample rate to which SME is locked. This is only an indicator since the sample rate is
determined by your sound card’s settings.
Settings This enables saving the current settings or loading previous settings, to quickly switch between different SME
configurations.
Enable Hardware Ports This allows explicitly enabling or disabling each SME port. This limits the ASIO stream’s inputs and
outputs monitored by SME, thus minimizing traffic on the PCI bus to only those ports necessary for the current setup. Only ports
enabled here are available for routing to or from on the other tabs.
Configuring SME Talkback
To configure SME Talkback:
1 Connect the MC Talkback Mic to a microphone preamp with 48V phantom power (required).
2 Connect the mic preamp’s output to any input on your sound card.
3 In the Config tab, enable the input that you connected the preamp to on your sound card.
4 In the Config tab Talkback section, Set the desired Level, Destination and Action.
5 In the Hardware I/P Patch tab, route the Hardware Input to SME I/P “TB,” which appears at the bottom of the pull-down list
(after channel 32).
