User Guide 37 P roFire 2626 Connection Diagram and Example Scenarios ProFire 2626 is a flexible interface with a variety of inputs and outputs. This flexibility allows ProFire 2626 to be used in a many different applications ranging from studio multi-tracking and on-location recording to multi-c hannel surround mixing.
User Guide 38 P roFire 2626 • Ifyouarerecordingthedirectoutputofanyelectricguit arsorbasses,connecttheseinstrumentstoAnalogInputs1 and 2 (1) on the front panel. Be sure the Mic/ Inst Button (2) is in the “in” position for each c hannel that is using the front panel inputs.
User Guide 39 P roFire 2626 Example Scenario #1: Recording a Duo This example demonstrates how ProFire 2626 can be used to record a duo consisting of a guitarist/vocalist and a percussion player . In this scenario, the guit arist/vocalist is playing an electric guit ar while singing into a microphone.
User Guide 40 P roFire 2626 • Input Connections: The electric guitar is recorded “direct” by connecting it to the first channel’s front-panel Instrument Input (1) with a standard 1/4” TS instrument cable. W hen using a front panel input, make sure that the Mic/ Inst button (2) for that channel is in the “in” position.
User Guide 41 P roFire 2626 Configuring the Mixer , Router , and Settings tabs Setting up the DS P Mixer: The default input c hannel configuration of the D S P Mixer should work well for most recording scenarios (including this one).
User Guide 42 P roFire 2626 Configure the Master V olume Knob to Control Y our Studio Monitors: Since the studio monitors are connected to analog outputs 5/6, make sure that the “ Analog Out 5/6” box is chec ked under the “Master V olume Knob” section of the Settings tab.
User Guide 43 P roFire 2626 Example Scenario #2: Mixing in Surround This example demonstrates how ProFire 2626 can be used to create a six-channel surround mix. In this scenario, your audio application must have provisions for multi-channel surround mixing (suc h as surround panners and a 6-channel master output).
User Guide 44 P roFire 2626 Input Connections: Since we are simply mixing for this scenario and are not recording anything, we do not have to use any inputs. Since the optical and coaxial (S/ P D I F) inputs are not being used in this scenario, these inputs should be disabled from the Router t ab of the Control Panel.
User Guide 45 P roFire 2626 Routing your DA W application outputs: In this scenario, your audio application will output a mix consisting of six channels. The ProFire 2626 Router must be correctly configured so that these channels leave the interface through the correct analog outputs.
User Guide 46 P roFire 2626 T roubleshooting Problem: No sound. Possible Cause 1 : Power supply not connected. V erify that the ProFire 2626 power supply is properly attached to the interface and plugged into a working AC outlet. Next, make sure the interface is powered on using the Power Button (9).
User Guide 47 ProFire 2626 Problem: No visual activity on Signal/Clip LE D indicators. Possible Cause 1 : Poor quality cabling. V erify that your audio cables are plugged in properly and are in good working order . Possible Cause 2 : The output volume of your audio source is set too low .
