T.R.I.O.
11.3 GND
The GROUND screw is located below the mains socket. It works
like the ground screw of a record player.
12. Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems when you’re working with T.R.I.O™, run down
the following checklist. It will help troubleshoot errors.
The LED chain lights up to indicate an incoming microphone signal, but I
can’t hear anything. Is the:
• MIC/INSTR. LEVEL knob in the monitoring section turned up? (see 3.1)
• MONITOR ON button engaged? (see 3.4)
• SPEAKERS A/B/C button engaged? (see 4.2)
• is there accidentally a jack in the INSERT RETURN? (see 1.9)
• MUTE button pressed? (see 1.6)
The microphone signal is audible, but I can’t record it. Is the:
• REC VOL. knob of the microphone channel turned up? (see 1.5)
• ANALOG OUT LEVEL ADJUST knob turned down? (applies in case of an
analog connection to the DAW only; see 8.1)
• SYNC settings to DAW checked ? (see 8.4)
• proper setting selected in the recording software?
The microphone signal is audible on one speaker/headphones side only. Is the:
• RECORD/MONITOR MODE SELECTOR on the bottom set to the correct
position? (see 9.1)
The record signal is distorted. Is the:
• GAIN knob turned up too high? (see 1.1/5.1)
• REC VOL. knob turned down too low? (see 1.5/2.5/5.1)
The DAW’s output is inaudible although visible. Is the:
• DAW ON button engaged? (see 3.5)
• ANALOG IN LEVEL ADJUST knob turned down? (applies in case of an
analog connection to the DAW only; see 8.2)
• SPEAKERS A/B/C button engaged? (see 4.2)
• proper setting selected in the recording software?
The line signal is visible on the right LED chain only (Switch set to INPUTS):
• Only the right LED chain indicates the Line channel’s input signal, even if
it‘s a stereo signal (see 5.1).
The AUX signal is audible, but I can’t record it:
• The AUX input addresses the monitor section ONLY and cannot be
recorded – connect the source you want to record to the Line input!

When a grounded device is connected to T.R.I.O™ (via a three-
terminal non-heating equipment mains cord), T.R.I.O™ grounds
itself to this circuit. You may hear a humming noise if all the
devices connected to T.R.I.O™ are powered by wall warts. For
precisely this reason, T.R.I.O™ offers the nifty option of grounding
the device’s chassis by means of a grounding cord connected to
the GND screw.

Are all external devices powered up, fully functional and
connected correctly? Are you certain the cause is not a handling
error? Often enough, the complete service department was in big
insurrection until it turned out that a broken fuse or a wrong con-
nection was the reason.
