O erating the Device
In order to use this audio interface as efficiently as possible please find an explanation of
the various controls and connectors below.
Hardware
HI-Z Switch
The Hi-Z switch for input 1 & 2 enables you connect an instrument with weak pre-
amplification to one of the inputs (an electric guitar is an example). This makes it possible
to record an instrument on one channel and vocals on the other.
Gain
The gain control is a sound amplifier that slightly amplifies input signals so they’re received
at an optimal level. A peak LED indicator is fitted above the gain control. If it lights up
green a sufficient input signal is detected. If it lights up red the input signal on the
corresponding channel is too high and may lead to an overdriven distorted recording. Try
to avoid overdriven signals at all times – these have a large negative impact on sound
quality.
+48V Phantom Power Su ly
+48V Phantom power is required for condenser studio microphones. This power supply
actively charges the microphone’s capsule with electrical current so audio signals are
processed and passed on as accurately as possible.
Phantom power is activated on both channels when enabled. In general an internal
phantom power supply as featured in other devices (e.g. dynamic vocal microphones)
shouldn’t cause any damage. The only exce tion concerns ribbon micro hones. If
you’d like to connect a ribbon microphone to the interface please carefully read the

manufacturer’s manual or instructions. The inclusion of a phantom power supply may
cause permanent damage to the ribbon microphone!
An LED status indicator will light up when the phantom power is engaged. It’s normal for
the LED to continue to light up for a short period of time after the phantom power has been
turned off.
Head hone volume control & connector
This rotary button is used to control the headphone volume independently from the master
volume. The headphone connector has been placed on the front of the interface for
convenience.
Master volume control
The master volume control is used to accurately set the volume level of your monitor
speakers. A ‘0 dB’ marker is included and turning the knob past the marked position will
trigger a certain amount of amplification. This may be necessary possibly due to a low-
volume source signal so be aware that there may be a small amount of overdrive present.
This occurs because this audio interface is not an amplifier but causes little to no hindrance
during day to day operation.
Mute button & monitor switch
The mute button is used to cancel the transferring of sound signals to your monitor
speakers. This could come in handy for conversations or phone calls during playback as
you can leave the volume as is.
Use the monitor switch to enable direct monitoring. If turned off neither of the input
channels provide any direct signals to the headphones.
Switch to ‘Direct’ to send channel 1 signals to the left and channel 2 signals to the right.
This enables you to monitor both source signals independently of each other.
Switch to ‘Mix’ to send both source signals to the ‘mix’. The left and right signals are now
identical.
Please note this functionality is only meant for direct monitoring. Use a DAW or other
suitable audio software to pan mono and stereo sources so the signals can be played back
via the right left or centre.
In uts & How to connect equi ment (micro hone, guitar, line signal)
The Centro 2i2o interface features two independant inputs that offer the same functionality
and are completely divided making it possible to record all kinds of audio signals in optimal
quality. Choose a microphone signal for vocals and an electro-acoustic guitar or record the
sound of a digital piano in stereo by using both inputs in-line. The possibilities are endless!
The interface is equipped with combi inputs. Thanks to their special design both standard
XLR inputs and 6.35 mm jacks can be connected.

Microphone signal: This can be a signal from either a dynamic or condenser microphone.
Use the XLR input to transfer microphone signals. Your microphone could come with its
own XLR connector as well. Use an adapter if this is not the case.
Line signal: This signal is best transferred to the input via a balanced or unbalanced
6.35mm jack plug. A balanced plug carries three signals (tip ring and sleeve) an
unbalanced signal carries two (tip and sleeve). Line signals typically come from keyboards
digital pianos PA or DJ mixers a CD player and other similar devices. It is possible your
source device does not feature the correct connector. If so use an adapter cable.
Guitar signal (Hi-Z): This button is part of the input channels and should be enabled when
you want to connect a guitar or any other instrument with a fixed cable to the interface.
Generally speaking these instruments carry a signal that’s too weak to be amplified via a
line or microphone input as it may be accompanied by static and a dull sound.
If you’re using other external equipment such as preamps or multi-effects please check
carefully how the outbound signal is sent out. It may be pre-amplified to a line signal in
which case the Hi-Z functionality is not required.
Out uts
The Centro 2i2o is fitted with two balanced XLR outputs that can generally be connected to
your studio monitors in stereo. Nine out of ten times studio monitors have been fitted with
their own built-in amplifier (which will require a separate power supply).
If this is not the case or you’d like to connect another pair of speakers to a different device
such as a PA mixer the outputs can be connected to it as well. The interface sends out line
level signals.
Kensington lock
This device comes with a connector that can be used with a Kensington lock. A Kensington
lock is a special lock that uses a mechanism in a specific cut-out in a device’s housing to
lock the device. This discourages theft.
Power su ly
The Centre 2i2o is bus-powered via the USB port. A special power supply is not required.
The average laptop or computer should be able to supply ample power to guarantee
correct operation. Always use the included cable to connect the interface to your laptop or
computer.
