You’ll be prompted to enter a user name and pass-
word. The default user name is “user”. Leave the
password field blank.
You’ll see the screen shown in Figure 1-13, This
screen allows you to set channel numbers for all of
the audio outputs generated by Element; program
and record busses, monitor feeds, and talkback
destinations. Work down the list, assign each one
a unique channel number and record them in your
channel number log.
Find the column entitled Mode. Each Studio Engine
is shipped with the most common streams enabled
with Live Stereo mode. Make sure all of your de-
sired streams are enabled.
Choose Apply.
A word about stream types: There are
several different types of streams avail-
able in the Mode dropdown box: Live Ste-
reo, Medium Stereo, Standard Stereo
and Surround.
Live Stereo was previously referred to as
Livestreams. Use Live Stereo streams when-
ever you need the lowest latency for on-air
feeds, mic-to-headphone paths, etc.
Medium Stereo is our recommended default
for everything else. This setting balances low
latency with high compatibility for systems con-
taining PC playout systems.
Standard Stereo
is intended to provide the
best
compatiblity with older PC systems, but
the tradeoff is that these streams have a higher
amount of latency.
Surround Streams: Element can mix both Ste-
reo and Surround (5.1) audio. If you’re feeding
the system with a 5.1 audio source, choose the
Surround option.
Set Your Console Type
Axia StudioEngines will work with different types of
consoles, so you need to tell it which type you’re pairing
it with.
Navigate to the “Engine ID” menu and find the “Ap-
plication Interface Options” section. Be sure that
Element
is checked for the “Console Type”.

Note: Manual setting of console type is only
necessary on Element consoles running soft-
ware versions prior to v2.0. In Elements running
v2.0 or higher, this setting will auto-detect.
Advanced Settings
You’ve no doubt noticed that there are many more
options for your Element and StudioEngine than we’ve
covered here. That’s because Chapter One was meant to
get you up and running as quickly as possible. For
an in-
depth explanation of the other available settings,
please
refer to Chapters 7 & 8 of this manual.
