12. Save/Recall Settings

Your HDM settings will only be recalled if you save them. Save
them as "default.hdm" and they will be recalled every time that the
panel is opened. Save setups that you want to recall for specific
sessions under some other name.
13. Device Configuration (Control Panel
shortcut)
Click "Device Configuration" to go immediately to the IO14/26
Control Panel, where you can set the sample rate, clock master,
device nickname, etc.

14. Headphones 2 Assignment

The first set of headphones always follows the Out 1/2 mix. The
second pair of headphones is freely assignable to follow any of the
analog output pairs.

15. S/PDIF output assignment

The S/PDIF digital output, like the second headphones output,
can be assigned to follow any output pair.
38
For the IO|26, these output
pairs all correspond to
physical, line-level outs.
They all exist in hardware.
While the IO|14 only has one
stereo pair of line-level
outputs, the IO|14 reports
these additional output pairs
to your Digital Audio
Workstation. These
additional pairs allow you to
make headphone 2 and
S/PDIF assignments to more
than just the built-in stereo
output.
This "virtual" routing
providesIO|14 owners with
much of the power of its big
brother, the IO|26.
The S/PDIF output mirrors
the volume of the analog 1/2
outputs.
Changes made to the main
volume encoder on the front
of the unit, and changes made
to the +4/-10 output level
switches on the Hardware
Direct Monitoring
application, will change the
level of the S/PDIF output.
