adjust these trims using CueMix FX, see “Input
trim” on page 67. To adjust the trims using the
front panel LCD:
1 Push the PARAM knob repeatedly until you see
CUEMIX in the LCD display.
2 Push the CHANNEL knob repeatedly until you
see “I:” (which stands for Input ) in the CHANNEL
section of the LCD (Figure 4-3).
3 Turn the CHANNEL KNOB until you see the
desired analog input or input pair. For example,
analog inputs 1-2 appear as “I:An 1-2”
(Figure 4-3), which means
Input analog 1-2 .
4 From the factory, analog inputs are grouped in
stereo pairs (1-2, 3-4, etc.) If you need to split a pair
to program it as two individual mono inputs, turn
the PARAM knob until you see PAIR in the
parameter section of the LCD (Figure 4-3). Turn
the VALUE knob to choose MONO. Then turn the
CHANNEL knob again to select the desired input.
Figure 4-3: The settings for analog inputs 1 and 2 (as a pair).
5 After splitting the stereo pair, if necessary, turn
the PARAM knob until you see the TRIM
parameter in the LCD (Figure 4-4):

6 Turn the VALUE knob to adjust the trim.
Separate main outs
The main outputs operate as an independent pair
(they don’t share signal with any other output
pair). In a standard studio configuration, the main
outs are intended for a pair of studio monitors, but
they can also be used as regular outputs for any
purpose. Their reference level is +4dB. Main out
volume is controlled by the VOL knob on the front
panel: push it repeatedly until you see MASTER
and then turn it to adjust the master volume
output. This knob can be programmed to control
any combination of outputs you wish.
S/PDIF
If you make a S/PDIF digital audio connection to
another device, be sure to review the digital audio
clocking issues, as explained in “Connecting and
syncing S/PDIF devices” on page 22.
The UltraLite-mk3 on-board mixer also supplies
12dB of digital trim adjustment for the S/PDIF
input pair, which can be adjusted from CueMix FX
(“Input trim” on page 67) or the front panel (using
the same procedure as explained earlier for
“Quarter-inch analog input trims” on page 20.
CONNECT MIDI GEAR
Connect your MIDI device’s MIDI IN jack to the
UltraLite-mk3’s MIDI OUT jack (Connection A
below). Conversely, connect the MIDI device’s
MIDI OUT jack to the UltraLite-mk3’s MIDI IN
jack (Connection B).
