the audio that you send into the Photon X 25 directly, without
requiring the audio to pass through the USB cable to the
computer and back beforehand.
Direct Monitoring is ideal if you want to listen to your
recorded signal with the lowest possible latency. However, if
you turn Direct Monitoring on and also monitor your signal
through your computer, you will likely hear a bit of echo due
to the computer interface's higher latency.

What is Latency?
"Latency" is the delay
between the moment when
audio is generated and the
moment when you actually
hear it. Higher latency
means a longer delay.
Generally, you want to keep
latency as low as possible
while still allowing your
equipment to operate without
glitches.
