Using the Nanoface

What can be controlled:

• Output 1/2: gain

• Output 3/4 (Phones): gain

• Route output 1/2 to Phones output

• Output 1/2 on Phones output: gain

• Input 1/2: gain (mic/instr. preamps)

• Input 3/4: gain

• 48V for inputs 1 and/or 2

• Switch input 2 to Hi-Z input

• Hardware monitoring for inputs 1/2

• Reset to default values

The usability concept of the Nanoface:

For a more detailed step-by-step description please read the following pages.

Encoder

The analog gains for the four inputs, all output levels and special features, like phantom power and hardware monitoring will

be controlled with the big silver rotary encoder directly on the Nanoface.

All mixing, channel routing and digital levels will be controlled by your individual audio software.

Example 1: Simple audio playback:

The audio application (Windows Media Player, iTunes or a video program) plays the sound to the Nanoface, which is the default audio

output in the sound setup of Windows or Mac OS X. The sound plays on analog output 1/2.

The big encoder controls the speakers volume of output 1/2. The encoder can also duplicate the signal from output 1/2 to the

headphones output and controls the volume separately from the speakers level connected to output 1/2.

Example 2. Multitrack audio software recording and playback:

You assign the stereo monitor mix in the software to the main outputs of the Nanoface (analog output 1/2) and a seperate headphone

mix to analog output 3/4. A 3rd mix or a loop to an external eﬀect unit can be assigned to the digital SPDIF output.

The analog preamp gain for the recording of one microphone, one electric guitar and a keyboard is controlled with the big encoder.

The monitor gain of the main speakers and the headphones is also controlled with the big encoder.
