Input Channels

The first eight channels on each of the Monitor pages correspond to the six analog inputs and two S/PDIF digital
inputs. The next eight channels are returns from your DAW application software. Any of these 16 channels can be
sent to any of eight possible output busses by selecting the Monitor tab for the desired output pair and setting the
levels for the input and software return channels respectively.
Each channel provides the following:
Level meter – monitors the channel's input level
Pan control – sets the position of the signal within the left and right output channel pair
Solo button – solos that channel's output signal in the output channels
Mute button – mutes that channel's output signal to the output channels
Link button – links a pair of channels together. When the Link button is active, changes made to one channel
Level fader – controls the level of that channel's signal sent to the output channels.
Send control – controls the level of that channel's signal sent to the internal DSP effects.
➤
Important: Note that changes made to the monitoring mix are completely
independent from, and do not affect signals being recorded to your DAW.
NOTE: Only Monitor outputs 1/2 and 3/4 can utilize the internal DSP. Therefore the
Monitor mixer tabs for outputs 5/6 and 7/8 do not provide Send controls.
