Features
Top Panel
1. Power LED: This LED illuminates when a valid USB connection has been established between
your computer and AIR 192|8. Use this light to verify that AIR 192|8 is receiving power and is
ready to use.
2. Input Gain: Adjusts the input's gain level. Set this knob so the corresponding LED Meter
(located below the knob) displays a "healthy" level (yellow LED is lit) during performance—but
not so high that the meter frequently "clips" or peaks (red LED is lit), causing distortion in the
audio.
3. LED Meters: Indicates the input signal level from the Combo Inputs or Instrument Inputs.
4. MIDI LED: This LED illuminates when MIDI is being sent to or from the device.
5. Mono LED: This LED illuminates when the direct input monitor signal of channels 1 and 2 is set
to Mono.
6. Phantom Power LED: This LED illuminates when the Phantom Power switch is activated, and
+48V is applied to the microphone connections.
7. -10 dB Mic Pad Switches: Adjust these horizontal slide switches to reduce their associated
channel’s mic input gain by -10 dB. When in their right position the -10 dB pad will be active.
8. Phantom Power Switch: This switch activates and deactivates phantom power for Combo
Inputs 1–2. When activated, phantom power supplies +48 volts to the inputs. Please note that
most dynamic microphones and ribbon microphones do not require phantom power, while
most condenser microphones do. Consult your microphone's documentation to find out
whether it needs phantom power.
7
9. Monitor Level: Adjusts the output volume of Main TRS and RCA Outputs (1/L 2/R), which
should be connected to your powered monitors or amplifier system.
10. Monitor Mix: Adjusts the mix of the audio signal from your inputs (Direct) and the audio output
of your computer (USB) that will be sent to the Main Outputs and Headphone Output.
Note: When set to Direct, the left channel will be Input 1, and the right channel will be Inputs
2. You can sum the left and right channels (to hear both inputs as a single-summed mono
signal) by putting the Direct Monitor switch to the Mono position.
This knob is useful for dealing with "latency" when you are recording in your DAW. Latency is a
delay in sound that may occur between the incoming sound (playing your instrument, singing,
etc.) and outgoing sound (when you hear it in the DAW).
Latency is often the result of the "buffer size" setting, which is usually located in your DAW’s
Preferences, Options, or Device Setup menu. Higher buffer sizes generally result in higher
latency. In some cases, lower buffer size settings can consume a lot of your computer’s CPU
and cause audio glitches. To prevent these audio glitches, you will need to use a higher buffer
setting, and this may result in latency.
If you are experiencing latency when recording, adjust the knob towards the Direct position to
increase the blend of unprocessed audio from your inputs directly to your Main Outputs and
Headphone Output. This will let you hear the incoming audio from your inputs without latency
while still being able to hear the audio from your DAW. When listening to the playback, adjust
the knob all the way to the USB position.
If your computer is powerful enough, you may be able to set the buffer size setting in your DAW
low enough such that you may never need to listen to the direct audio signal from your inputs.
In this case, set the Monitor Mix knob all the way to the USB position to monitor only the audio
output of your DAW.
11. Direct Monitor Selector: Leave this switch in the right Stereo position to monitor the direct
input signal with Input 1 in the left channel and Input 2 in the right channel. This is useful if you
want to directly monitor a stereo mic setup such as a stereo signal from a keyboard, or
overhead drum mics. Put this switch in its left Mono position (Mono LED is lit) to monitor the
direct input signal with all inputs summed and heard equally on each side. This is useful for
monitoring a guitar or vocal mic signal. This switch does not affect the DAW playback or how
your sound is recorded into your DAW; it only affects how you hear the input signal in the
Headphone Output (when the Headphone Source Selector is set to 1/2, and the Monitor
Mix is set to anything besides USB) and Monitor Outputs.
12. Headphone Source Selector: This switch selects which outputs (on the rear panel) are also
sent to the Headphone Output, Main Outputs 1–2 (1/2), or Outputs 3–4 (3/4).
13. Headphone Output (front panel): Connect 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS headphones to this output. The
mix you hear from these outputs will be determined by the Headphone Source Selector,
Monitor Mix knob, Direct Monitor Selector, and Headphone Volume knob.
14. Headphone Volume (front panel): Adjusts the output volume of the Headphone Output.
15. Instrument Inputs (front panel): Connect a guitar with a passive pickup or other high-
impedance signal to these inputs with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) TS cable. View the input signal levels
with the LED Meters.
Note: Using an Instrument Input will mute the Combo Input on the corresponding channel.

1. USB Port (Type C): This connection will allow you to send audio and MIDI data to and from a
computer. Use the included USB-C-to-USB-C or USB-C-to-USB-A cables to connect the
AIR 192|8 to a computer. Connect the USB-C end of the cable by firmly pressing it into place to
ensure a strong connection is felt. The AIR 192|8 requires a USB 2.0 connection (or higher).
2. MIDI Out: Use the included 1/8” (3.5 mm)-to-MIDI adapter to send MIDI information to an
external device.
Important: Do not connect audio devices (e.g., headphones, monitors, etc.) to this jack. Use
the included 1/8” (3.5 mm)-to-MIDI adapter to only connect MIDI devices.
3. MIDI In: Use the included 1/8” (3.5 mm)-to-MIDI adapter to receive MIDI information from an
external device.
Important: Do not connect audio devices (e.g., headphones, monitors, etc.) to this jack. Use
the included 1/8” (3.5 mm)-to-MIDI adapter to only connect MIDI devices.
4. RCA Outputs (1–4): The unbalanced RCA connectors 1/2 are fed from output streams 1-2, and
are affected by the operations of the Main Level control, the Direct/USB Monitoring mix
control, and the Direct Monitor switch. The unbalanced RCA connectors 3/4 are fed from
output streams 3-4, and are not affected by the operations of the Main Level control, the
Direct/USB Monitoring mix control, and the Direct Monitor switch.
5. Main Outputs (1–2): Use standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cables to connect these outputs to your
powered monitors, amplifier system, etc. The mix you hear from these outputs will be
determined by the Monitor Mix knob and Direct Monitor switch. The level of these outputs is
controlled by the Monitor Level knob.
6. Combo Inputs: Connect microphones, a guitar or bass with an active pickup, or line-level
devices to these inputs. For microphones, use an XLR or 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cable. For a
guitar or bass with an active pickup, use a standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) TS cable. For line-level
signals, use a 1/4" (6.35 mm) TRS cable. View the input signal levels with the LED Meters.
7. Kensington Lock Slot: You can use this Kensington lock slot to secure AIR 192|8 to a table or
other surface.
