FEATURES

Resident Audio T2 Operation Manual : Features

FRONT PANEL

Note: For the purposes of this owners manual, “Input” refers to incoming “live” analog

audio signal from microphones, instruments (such as electric guitar or bass) or

line-level devices (such as personal music players, electronic keyboards or effects

devices) connected to the front panel T2 inputs. “Output” refers to digital playback

signal coming from your computer software.

A - Input connectors (1 - 2) – These combo connectors accept both XLR and balanced or unbalanced (TRS or TS) ¼" cables.

B - Input gain controls (1 - 2) – Turn clockwise to increase gain, counterclockwise to reduce gain.

C - Input LEDs (1 - 2) – These three-color wraparound LEDs turn green to indicate the presence of input signal, yellow when the signal is approaching peak level

and red when the signal is overloading (clipping). A good starting point is to adjust the Input gain control so that the loudest passages cause the LED to light yellow,

with only occasional ickers in the red, and then tweak as necessary.

D - Phantom power switch – Turns on 48 volts of phantom power for all XLR inputs.

E - INST/LINE switch – Use this to set the T2 inputs to instrument-level or line-level. (NOTE: When set to INST, the inputs are monitored in mono; when set to

LINE, the inputs are monitored in stereo. (See Smart Monitoring on page 9 in this manual for more information.)

F - Input Mix control – This monitoring control sets the amount of input signal that is blended with the output signal (playback coming from your computer).

When turned completely counterclockwise, you’ll hear only the output signal from your computer, with no input signal added in; when set completely clockwise,

your input signal is mixed in at full level. (Note: The Input Mix control has no effect on the level of the output signal, which can be adjusted if necessary

from your computer software and/or the T2 Digital Panel; see page 7 in this manual for more information.)

G - Input Mix LED – This three-color wraparound LED turns green to indicate the presence of input and/or output signal, yellow when the signal is approaching

peak level, and red when the signal is overloading (clipping).

H - Big Knob monitor control – Controls the level of connected headphones as well as the overall monitoring level (when only Outputs 1 & 2 are connected).

Turn clockwise to increase the volume, counterclockwise to reduce the volume.

B - Thunderbolt™ port – Provides power to the T2 and routes input and output signal to and from your computer.

C - PHONES output – Connect headphones here.

D - Outputs (1 - 2) – Use these balanced line-level TRS ¼” jacks to connect your T2 to monitors and external devices. (See Making Connections on page 6

of this manual for more information.)

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Computer

This one’s easy: simply plug one end of a Thunderbolt cable into your computer and the other end into

the T2 Thunderbolt port. You’ve probably already noticed that the T2 has no AC cord. That’s because it’s

Microphones should always be connected to the T2 with XLR cables;

instruments and line-level devices should always be connected to the T2

with ¼" cables.

Inputs

The Combo input connectors on the front panel of the T2 accepts XLR, balanced ¼” TRS (Tip/Ring/

Sleeve) and unbalanced ¼” TS (Tip/Sleeve—the kind used by standard guitar cables).

If you’re using condenser microphones which require 48 volts of phantom power, set the T2 Phantom

Power switch ON. For ¼” connections, use the INST/LINE switch to specify which kinds of devices are

connected.

The T2 provides phantom power globally (that is, to all Inputs

simultaneously) so use this switch with caution if any mics not requiring

power (such as ribbon microphones) are connected.

A microphone and an instrument or line-level device can simultaneously be connected; simply set the

INST/LINE switch correctly. However, connecting a line-level source to one input and an instrument to

the other input may result in signal distortion.

The setting of the INST/LINE switch also determines whether the input signal is monitored in mono or stereo. See

Smart Monitoring on page 9 in this manual for more information.

OUTPUTS

The two line-level output connectors on the rear panel are balanced ¼” TRS jacks. Use them to connect

the T2 to power ampliers, self-powered speakers, or two channels of a mixing board.

Headphones

The T2 provides a dedicated PHONES jack on the rear panel for private monitoring in either stereo or

mono. (See Smart Monitoring on page 9 in this manual for more information.)

Using the T2 Digital Panel

The T2 Digital Panel software is installed automatically during driver installation (Mac users will nd it in

their Applications folder; Windows users will nd it in their Toolbar) and provides onscreen metering as

well as allowing you to set output levels for each channel individually. Simply “grab” and move each slider

with your mouse to make adjustments.

The Digital Panel also enables you to change the T2 sampling rate if your DAW software supports

multiple sampling rates. See your software owners manual for more information.

MIDI

In addition to routing audio, the T2 can also serve as a computer MIDI interface. Simply connect your

T2 to external MIDI devices using the rear panel MIDI IN and MIDI OUT jacks. As shown in the graphic

below, keyboards and controllers should be connected to the T2 MIDI IN, and sound generating devices

such as synthesizers and drum machines should be connected to the T2 MIDI OUT.

The speed of Thunderbolt, combined with the ultra-stable clock provided by the T2 driver, ensures that

your audio and MIDI tracks line up perfectly, with everything playing back exactly the way you played it

in, with no “slop” or delay.

Resident Audio T2 Operation Manual : Smart Monitoring

The T2’s unique Smart Monitoring provides a level of convenience that you won’t nd in other audio

interfaces.

Here’s how it works:

When the INST/LINE switch is set to the LINE position, the two inputs send signal to the two output

jacks and to the PHONES jack in stereo (different input in both ears.)

However, when the INST/LINE switch is set to the INST (instrument) position, the two inputs send signal

to the two output jacks and to the PHONES jack in mono (same signal in both ears). This allows you to

remove one set of cans and still hear the sound of everything in one ear—especially handy for vocalists

and DJs.

SMART MONITORING

Note that the setting of the INST/LINE switch affects input monitoring even when only microphones are

connected to the T2. In this case, set the INST/LINE switch to LINE if you want to monitor the incoming

mic signal(s) in stereo, or to INST if you want to monitor in mono.

The setting of the INST/LINE switches affect input signals only (i.e., signal coming from connected

microphones, instruments or line-level devices) and has no effect on output signals (signals coming from

your computer).

Resident Audio T2 Operation Manual : Using your T2

USING YOUR T2

There are lots of different ways you can use your T2. Here are just a few suggestions:

For live or studio recording into DAW software.

Connect your microphones, instruments, or line level sources to the T2 and start making hits. The

superb quality of the T2’s converters means that everything you record will sound great, and the

extremely low latency offered by Thunderbolt means that you can overdub with virtually no delay.

To monitor the audio coming from editing software.

Forget the limited sound offered by computer speakers: The T2 allows you to hear every nuance

of your edits. Simply plug a pair of headphones into the T2 or connect its outputs to ampliers or

self-powered monitors.
