OVERVIEW
Input/Output
Description
On-Board
Microphones
Your GoStudio comes with a set of on-board stereo microphones (or
“mics”) that can be used to capture audio. Sounds that are picked up by
the mic on the left are mixed to the left stereo channel. Sounds picked up
by the mic on the right are mixed to the right stereo channel.
The microphones are unidirectional, which means that each mic tends to
focus on audio from sources that the mic is pointing toward. Notice that the
microphones tend to point away from the GoStudio body at approximately
45 degrees. This allows the microphones to capture stereo recordings
accurately.
If you want to enhance the directionality of the microphones, you can
rotate each mic to point toward a sound source that you want to capture.
For example, when recording an interview, you can rotate one microphone
toward the interviewee and the other microphone toward yourself.
The on-board mics are quite sensitive. Depending on the loudness
of the sounds you want to record, as well as the settings of your
GoStudio controls, you may need to make sure the microphones
aren’t too close to the subject you’re recording.
Combo Jacks
Inputs labeled
combo 01
and
combo 02
are combination (or “combo”)
jacks that let you connect either an XLR type connector or a ¼” connector.
These connectors are typically used to connect dynamic microphones
to the GoStudio, although the ¼” input jacks will accept line-level signals
as well.
Each input jack accepts a mono input signal, which can be balanced or
unbalanced.
The combo 01 input is routed to the left channel of the stereo mix and
the combo 02 input is routed to the right channel. If you would prefer
not to have the inputs panned all the way to the right or left channel,
or if you’re recording using only one of the two combo jacks, then
switch the GoStudio’s mono control to the on position to create a
mono mix.
GoStudio Inputs and Outputs
You can use the inputs and outputs to connect microphones and headphones to your GoStudio.
