SECTION I – RECORDING WITH THE OMEGA

Now that we’ve covered the operation of the Omega hardware, let’s see how to use the

Omega Studio in some typical recording situations. The diagram below shows how the

Omega Studio is connected for this particular setup.

A. RECORDING A MICROPHONE INPUT

1. Plug your microphone cable into the Mic 1 XLR jack on the

back of the Omega. If the mic needs phantom power, push the

+48 V switch (located just above the POWER input) in.

2. Now we need to setup the Omega to record from the Mic 1 input. On the front of the

Omega locate the USB ASSIGN button between the Mic 1 and Mic 2 Gain knobs.

Press the USB Assign button until the 1-2 led is lit red. This means we are now stream-

ing audio to the computer via the USB 1-2 input drivers from the Microphone Jacks.

Next, press in the MONITOR button between Mic 1 and Mic 2 so it is in the MONO

position. Since we are recording only one microphone right now we will want to be

able to hear it on both sides of our headphones.
