GETTING STARTED - AN INTRODUCTION TO THIS MANUAL
Anyone with minimal audio experience should be able to operate the Soundcraft Ui Series consoles
without reading too much of this manual, though we do recommend you take the time to go through it.
An excellent place to start would be the feature list on the introductory page (section 1.0), the Wi-Fi
and software set-up guide (3.1), and the software control guides for phone (3.2) and tablet (3.3) software.

2.1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW
GETTING STARTED > SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This Soundcraft Ui console uses a compact main unit with built-in I/O, processing, and web server. Phones,
tablets, and PCs can connect to the web server via Wi-Fi for platform-independant software control.
2.1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW
8L8L8VHU0DQXDO

Set level for headphones outputs
This controls the level on both headphone outputs. The headphone source signal defaults to the main stereo
signal but switches to the Solo bus when AFL or PFL is selected.

Set levels for MIX L and Mix R outputs
The Mix output is the Ui’s main left/right stereo output and appears on both the XLR and Jack Mix L/R outputs.

Connection for Jack or XLR - mic or Line level
The input number corresponds to channel number in the Ui control software.

Line level RCA inputs
The RCA inputs feed the Line In L and Line In R channels in the UI mixer.

Parallel headphone sockets
These are not independent, meaning each output receives the same signal. The headphone outputs receive the
same audio signal as the main outputs unless a channel Solo is active, or the ‘AUX’ option is set in SETTINGS (this
assigns the highest-numbered aux pairs to the headphones outputs).
