The STATUS LEDs allow you to quickly identify the status of any connections going into and
coming out of the device especially in low lighting environments. A list of the individual
LEDs and their functions:
• Ports A, B, C, and D:
•
IN and OUT light green when incoming/outgoing signal is detected. The INs light red
when the incoming signal is clipping (too loud).
• The THRU indicator lights orange when a port is set to send the signal of its input
channel directly to its output channel which is useful for analog mixing.
When using a timecode medium (vinyl/CD), the signal coming through to the chan-
nel is digital and needs to be processed by your computer. At this point, the THRU
function needs to be deactivated. See chapter 6.1.2 / 6.2.1 for further information
on configuring the port settings.
•
PHONO needs to be active when using a port with a turntable (no matter if using
timecode vinyl for digital mixing or using standard vinyl records). See chapter
6.1.2 / 6.2.1 for further information on configuring the port settings.
By default, the soundcard is set to PHONO with activated THRU mode on ports A and B
% !
for mixing analog signal from turntables, and LINE with activated THRU mode on ports
C an D for mixing analog signal from CD decks. See chapter 6.1.2 / 6.2.1 for instruc-
tions on how to change the default settings.
