Talkback mic and controls (Quantum). Quantum features an onboard talkback
microphone. Press the Talk button to patch the signal to the selected mixes. To
control the level of the onboard Talkback mic, select the “c” (Comm) channel in the
preamp control section and use the encoder to adjust the level.
Power User Tip: Talkback routing for Quantum is handled inside your DAW. It will show
up as an input stream in your DAW I/O set-up.
Input meters. These eight-LED meters show the input level of the analog inputs on
your Quantum-series interface. The green LEDs will illuminate when the input signal
ranges from -50dBFS to -4dBFS. The yellow LEDs will illuminate when the input signal
reaches -2dBFS. The red Clip LED will illuminate when your input signal reaches
-0.5dBFS. At this level, the signal will begin to overload the analog-to-digital
converters and exhibit signs of clipping. Use the gain controls to keep the signal
below this level.
Main. The Main knob can control any or all of the outputs on the rear panel of your
Quantum and has a range of -80 dB to 0 dB. In addition to level control, the main
outputs have the following controls:
•Meters. These meters display the signal level received from Driver Returns 1 and
2 (Main Left/Right). These meters have the same range as the input meters (-50
dBFS to -0.5 dBFS) and are before the main output level.
•Dim / Mute (Quantum). This button controls both the Dim and Mute functions
for the Main Outputs. Press the button and release it to lower the outputs signal
by 20 dB. Press and hold the button to Mute the Main Output signal. The button
will illuminate yellow when Dim is active and red when Mute is active. These
functions are also available from within UC Surface and Studio One.
•Mono (Quantum). Press this button to sum the Main stereo output signal to
mono. The mono function is also available from within UC Surface and Studio One.
Power User Tip: Use the Mono feature to verify mono compatibility and to check for
phase cancellation in your stereo mixes.
Headphones. Your Quantum-series interface provides two/one headphone
output(s), each with its own level control. Each headphone output is provided with
its own unique output stream to route audio directly from your DAW (Quantum:
playback streams 11/12 and 13/14; Quantum 2: playback streams 5/6). These streams
are labeled as “Phones 1” and “Phones 2” in UC Surface. From UC Surface, any mix
can be routed to either headphone output. By default on Quantum, Headphone 1
mirrors the Main Output and Headphone 2 mirrors Output 1-2.
A/B (Quantum 2). The A/B button allows you to switch between two mixes. When
UC Surface is not accessed, this will toggle between the Headphone streams (5/6)
and the Main Mix streams (1/2). When UC Surface is active, you can choose the “B”
source from any mix pair.
Power button and Sync light. The lighted ring around the power button of your
Quantum is a clock source / sync indicator. It lets you know if you unit is receiving
word clock correctly.
•Blue. When this light is blue, your Quantum is correctly synced via Thunderbolt,
word clock, ADAT, or S/PDIF
•Flashing red and blue. Quantum is in the process of trying to sync to a received
clock signal.

Sample Rate. Changes the sample rate.
You can set the sample rate to 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, or 192 kHz. A higher
sample rate will increase the delity of the recording but will increase the le
size and the amount of system resources necessary to process the audio.
Clock Source. Sets the digital clock source.
From this menu, you can set the clock source for your Quantum
interface: Internal, External S/PDIF, or External ADAT. Please note: Only
ADAT 1 can be used as a clock source input for your Quantum.
4.2 Input Controls
The following controls are available for your Quantum-series interface inputs:
Microphone and Instrument Preamps
The inputs on your Quantum-series interface are auto-sensing. When an XLR cable is
connected, controls for the microphone preamp will be available in UC Surface.
These controls include a fully variable gain control and phantom power as well as
input metering.
Line Inputs
When a ¼-inch TRS cable is connected to the inputs of your Quantum-series
interface, you will be provided with an input sensitivity toggle switch. By default, the
input sensitivity is set to +4 dBu. Most professional line-level devices output at this
level. Consumer line level is usually -10 dBV. For these lower output devices, switch
the input sensitivity to -10 dBV to match your device.
Power User Tip (Quantum users): By default, inputs 1 and 2 are set to line, inputs 3-8
default to mic when nothing is connected.

4.8 RTA
Quantum-series
Owner’s Manual
4.8 RTA
UC Surface provides a real-time analyzer (RTA) in which x = frequency and y =
amplitude for every input and output. An RTA provides a close visual representation
of what you are hearing. It provides a view of the long-term spectrum of the signal,
such as the one third-octave spectrum long-term average of a musical performance.
To enable the RTA for any input or output, select its meter from the top of the screen.
The Quantum RTA provides several customization features that allow you
to view the RTA in the way that is most useful for your application.
Height. This provides a more or less granular display for the RTA.
Range. Use the Range controls to set the upper and lower decibel limits that the RTA
will display.
Hold. Use this control to set the peak hold time for each band of the RTA.
Average. Averaging is a mathematical process that takes multiple data samples and
performs division to acquire a statistically more accurate calculation of the response.
That’s a technical way of saying that it slows down the “real-time” of a real-time
analyzer.
At the bottom of the screen, you will nd the signal meter.
This meter can be customized for your application.

Setting up an external MIDI keyboard controller from the Start page.
A MIDI keyboard controller is a hardware device that is generally used for playing
and controlling other MIDI devices, virtual instruments, and software parameters.
In Studio One Artist, these devices are referred to as Keyboards, and they must be
congured before they are available for use. In some cases, your MIDI keyboard
controller is also used as a tone generator. Studio One Artist views the controller
and tone-generation functions as two dierent devices; a MIDI keyboard controller
and a sound module. The MIDI controls (keyboard, knobs, faders, etc.) will be
set up as a Keyboard. The sound modules will be set up as an Instrument.
You can set up your external MIDI devices from the Setup area
in the Start page. Before setting up a new Song for recording,
take a moment to congure external devices.
Make sure you have connected the MIDI Out of your external MIDI controller to
a MIDI In on your PreSonus audio interface (if available) or other MIDI interface. If
you are using a USB MIDI controller, connect it to your computer and power it on.
1. Click on the Congure External Devices link in the Setup area on
the Start page to launch the External Devices window.
2. Click the Add button. This will launch the Add Device window.

5. Studio One allows you tolter out specic control functions. If you would
like Studio One to ignore Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, Program Change, or
All CC messages, enable ltering for any or all of these messages.
6. In the Receive From drop-down menu, select the MIDI interface
input from which Studio One Artist will receive MIDI data (that
is, the MIDI port to which your keyboard is connected).
Power User Tip: In the Send To drop-down menu, select the MIDI interface output
from which your Studio One Artist will send MIDI data to your keyboard. If your
keyboard controller doesn’t need to receive MIDI data from Studio One, you can
leave this unselected.
7. If this is the only keyboard that you will use to control your external
synthesizers and virtual instruments, you should check the box
next to Default Instrument Input. This will automatically assign your
keyboard to control all MIDI devices in Studio One Artist.
8. Click OK.
If you have a sound module that you’d like to connect, leave the
External Devices window open and proceed to the next part of this
section. If not, you can close the window and skip to Section 6.3.

Setting up an external MIDI sound module from the Start page.
MIDI instrument controllers (keyboards, MIDI guitars, etc.) send musical information
in the form of MIDI data to tone modules and virtual instruments, which respond
by generating sound, as instructed. Tone modules can be standalone sound devices
or can be integrated into a MIDI instrument, such as a keyboard synthesizer. Studio
One Artist refers to all tone generators as Instruments. Once you have set up your
MIDI keyboard controller, take a moment to congure your sound module.
Make sure you have connected the MIDI In of your external
sound module to the MIDI Out of your MIDI interface.
1. In the External Devices window, click the Add button.

6.4 Integrated Quantum Controls
You can control the hardware functions of your
Quantum interface from within Studio One.
6.4.1 Preamp Controls
As soon as you set an analog Quantum input as the input source for a
track in Studio One, you’ll nd its preamp controls in the Studio One
mixer. If a DigiMax DP88 is connected to the ADAT inputs on your
Quantum, you’ll nd these controls available for those inputs as well.
You can choose to hide the preamp controls for your Quantum interface from the
Console Options menu. Simply uncheck the box next to “Show audio device controls.”
Note: Because preamp control for the DigiMax DP88 is bidirectional, both the ADAT input
and the ADAT output must be connected in order for Studio One to display its preamp
controls.

6. Mono (Quantum). Sums the stereo Main Left / Right Output signal to mono.
6.5 Monitor Mixing in Studio One
You can set up monitor mixes with your Quantum interface using Studio
One’s unique Cue Mix feature. This feature takes over the monitor mix control
software for your Quantum-series interface and provides level and pan
control from within Studio One. Simply designate a pair or pairs of outputs as
a cue mix, and you’llnd the Cue Mix controls in your Studio One mixer.
You can create a cue mix and send it to any output on your Quantum
(Mains, Headphones, General Purpose, ADAT, or S/PDIF). You
simply need to create an output bus and enable Cue Mix.
Power User Tip: It is possible to designate the main output as a cue mix. This is helpful if
you often record yourself and require quick access to monitoring for live inputs.
When the main output is designated as a Cue Mix, a button will appear on any audio
channel, with an assigned audio input in the Console, below the Mute, Solo, Record, and
Monitor buttons.
6.5.1 Cue Mix Functions
Once you have created a cue mix output, you will notice a special Send object
in the channels of the Console. This Send object is called a Cue Mix object.
In the Small Console view, Cue Mix objects appear in
the far left column of the extended channel.
