Recording Lamp USB - RGB

Recording Warning Light

About Recording Lamp USB:

The Recording Lamp USB is a signaling device of great use in any recording studio. It provides visual control of the recording process, be it for dubbing or postproduction. The lamp informs recording artists about individual phases of the recording process. With easy installation and setup, the lamp is USB connectable so no external power supply is needed nor any MIDI interface.

The Recording Lamp USB signals the following, by different colours:

1. “Recording“ (red by default )

2. “Ready“ (yellow by default), usually on in „Pre Roll“ mode in Pro Tools or in play mode, e.g. Cubase or Nuendo. This function can be switched off using the supplied SW utility.

3. “Cue“ (blue by default) lights up only when the „Cue“ button in the SW utility is pressed, both in rec. & play modes

The default colours can be set to the users taste in the SW utility combining all three RGB colors

( Red, Green, Blue).
