CONNECT AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The UltraLite-mk3 audio interface has the
following audio input and output connectors:
■ 10 balanced quarter-inch analog outputs
■ 6 balanced quarter-inch analog inputs
■ 2 XLR/quarter-inch “combo” analog inputs with
preamps
■ 1 pair of RCA S/PDIF in and out
Here are a few things you should keep in mind as
you are making these connections to other devices.
Mic/instrument inputs
Connect a microphone, guitar, instrument or other
analog input to the XLR/TRS combo jack with
either a standard mic cable or a balanced cable with
a quarter-inch plug.
☛ Do not connect a +4 (line level) XLR cable to
the front-panel inputs (because of the preamps).
Use a rear-panel quarter-inch input instead.
Phantom power
If you are connecting a condenser microphone or
other device that requires phantom power, push
and hold the corresponding front-panel TRIM
rotary encoder for a few seconds to toggle phantom
power. The red LED below will turn on or off
accordingly.
Tr im
The XLR mic input and the TRS instrument input
are equipped with 60 dB and 32 dB of trim control,
respectively. Use the digital trim encoders on the
front panel to adjust the input level as needed for
each input. The LCD provides visual feedback as
you turn the trim knob. The UltraLite-mk3’s input
trims are digital controlled, so they allow you to
make fine-tuned adjustments in precise 1dB
increments. You can also adjust trim in the MOTU
CueMix FX software. See “Input trim” on page 67.
20 dB pad
The mic input (XLR jack) is equipped with a 20 dB
pad, so “hot” signals are best connected via an XLR
cable so that you can use the pad. To toggle the
20 dB pad for a mic input, quickly push its TRIM
rotary encoder. The green LED below will turn on
or off accordingly.
Since the pad is not available on the TRS jack, hot
signals connected via the TRS jack will probably
overdrive the input.
Combo jack summary
Use these general guidelines for the 48V phantom
power, pad and trim settings on the two combo
input jacks:
Quarter-inch analog
The quarter-inch analog inputs (3-8) and outputs
(1-8 plus main out) are balanced (TRS) connectors
that can also accept an unbalanced plug.
The quarter-inch outputs are calibrated to produce
a +4 dBu line level output signal.
Quarter-inch analog input trims
The quarter-inch inputs are calibrated to
accommodate either +4 or -10 dBu signals and are
equipped with digitally controlled analog trims
that provide +22 dB of gain and -96 dB of cut. You
can use either the front panel LCD or the included
CueMix FX software to adjust the input trim. To
Input 48V Pad Trim

Dynamic mic Off As needed As needed
Guitar Off n/a As needed
-10 dB Line level via TRS Off n/a As needed
-10 dB Line level via XLR Off -20 dB +12dB

- Push the vol knob twice to view and control the volume of the main outs on the rear panel 36
- The master volume adjustment can be programmed to control any combination of outputs see the monitor group on page 84 for details 36
- To view the current setting without changing it just push the knob without turning it 36

- Individual channels once you scroll past master and reverb the page knob then scrolls through all available inputs for the mix bus once you choose an input access its channel settings using the param knob and value knob 41
- Inputs menu 41
- Once you ve selected the reverb menu you can access all settings using the parameter and value knobs the page knob is not needed and is therefore disabled when editing reverb settings 41
- Reverb these are the reverb send and return controls for the bus master fader access them with the parameter knob 41
- Summary of mix menu settings for a summary of mix menu settings see mixes menu on page 42 41
- Summary of reverb menu settings see reverb menu on page 42 for a summary 41
- The reverb processor is not available at sample rates above 48 khz therefore when the ultralite mk3 is operating at 88 khz or higher the reverb menu does not appear in the lcd 41
- The reverb settings push the channel button repeatedly until you see reverb in the channel section of the lcd figure 6 9 this is similar to accessing the reverb tab in cuemix fx the reverb tab on page 83 41
- All settings including all mix settings and global settings are saved in the ultralite mk3 s memory and they remain in effect even when the ultralite mk3 is not connected to a computer this allows you to use the ultralite mk3 as a stand alone 8 bus mixer you can make adjustments to any setting at any time from the front panel 42

- Advantages over host based mixing and processing 62
- Cuemix fx installation 62
- Cuemix fx is installed with the rest of your ultralite mk3 software 62
- Cuemix fx provides several major advantages over mixing and processing in your host audio software 62
- Cuemix has no buffer latency thanks to the ultralite mk3 s dsp chip cuemix provides the same throughput performance as a digital mixer 62
- Cuemix mixing and effects processing imposes no processor drain on the computer s cpu 62
- Cuemix routing can be maintained independently of individual software applications or projects 62
- Cuemix routing can operate without the computer allowing the ultralite mk3 to operate as a portable stand alone mixer with effects 62
- Each input output and mix bus provides a send to the classic reverb processor which then feeds reverb returns to mix busses and outputs with a selectable split point between them to prevent send return feedback loops 62

- The ultralite mk3 system can resolve directly to smpte time code it can also generate time code under its own clock or while slaving to time code therefore the ultralite mk3 can act both as an audio interface and as a smpte time code synchronizer to which you can slave other devices you can use the ultralite mk3 to slave your audio software to time code as well as long as your software supports sample accurate sync which is the means by which the software follows the ultralite mk3 the accuracy may not be sample accurate but in most cases it will be very close 106
