SUGGESTED SOLARIS USES

In addition to how you will put the Solaris to use within your audio setup, here are some

suggestions on implementing the unit.

• DAW setup monitor controller. If you’re working completely in the box, you will still benefit

from top notch D-A and ultra-low jitter Conversion. You can hook up the Solaris to your DAW

via USB. Therefore you’re using the unit as your interface. The Solaris will convert your mix

from the digital domain to analog to feed your monitors, giving you monitor level control with

the Gain knob, Monitor Mute and separate Headphone Level control.

• On-The-Go Conversion and Monitor control. There will be situations where you find yourself

away from your studio set up and you still need to work on mixes. For example, you may be on

tour and you’re working on edits and mixes on the road. Or you find you need to tweak

balances for live performance backing tracks. Whatever the case, Solaris gives you that clear

image you’ve been working with in the studio. Just plug up via USB and you’ve got your Crane

Song sound feeding your portable rig. You can take it a step further and feed the backing track

mix to Front Of House and deliver the pristine Crane Song sound to be part of the live

performance.

• Digital Source Switcher. You may have a few digital sources in your studio, DAW on USB, a

playback device on AES, another one on S/PDIF and a third unit outputting Optical. The

Solaris easily switches between these various formats.
