Unbalanced Instrument and MIC level inputs. These hybrid connectorswill accept a standard three-pin XLR plug or a 1/4" TS connector.
When lit, this LED indicates clipping input level at the associatedMIC/INST input. The LED will illuminate when the signal is 3dB belowthe clipping point.
When lit, this LED indicates the presence of an audio signal at theassociated MIC/INST input.
When this switch is in the IN position, +48V phantom power issupplied to the XLR input. This phantom power circuit is suitable formost condenser microphones.
This potentiometer controls the input level of its associated analogMIC/Instrument/Line input.
The output jack accepts a standard 1/4" stereo TRS headphoneconnector with individual level regulated by the HEADPHONE LEVELCONTROLS. The default source selection for the headphone output isidentical to line outputs 1/2.
The potentiometers controls the output level of the headphone output.
This switch controls the overall power to the unit.
Hardware direct monitoring ( Clockwise - "Direct Out" ) eliminates thelatency or delay inherent in even the best internal circuitry whilelistening to your input and existing tracks. You can also listen to yourinput complete with effects (Counter-Clockwise - "COMP") whilerecording by using extremely the low-latency ASIO monitoring
