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.

Each of these output jacks accepts a standard 1/4" stereo TRSheadphone connector. The program signal is identical on both outputs,with individual level regulated by the HEADPHONE LEVELCONTROLS. The default source selection for the headphone output isidentical to line outputs 1/2.

Each of these potentiometers controls the output level of its associatedheadphone 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

Hardware Connections

Connect the Utrack Pro's outputs to your amplifier, powered monitors orsurround system. For two-channel stereo operation, the default outputsare channels 1 and 2. However, you may change this in the Utrack Procontrol panel at your desire. For multi-channel surround output, connectup to four powered monitors to the Utrack Pro's four analog outputs.

If you are monitoring through headphones, connect one or two sets ofheadphones to the Utrack Pro's headphone outputs.

Connect your microphones, instruments or other line level analogsources to the Utrack Pro's front or rear panel analog inputs.

Connect your S/PDIF digital devices to the coaxial digital I/O.
