KONA X Audio Monitoring
Supported KONA X hardware can be used as your single audio monitoring
solution whether you are auditioning music in a web browser, playing a movie file
on the desktop, creating music, or playing a YouTube clip. As long as the output
of your work or application is normally output via the host system audio, your
AJA hardware can route this audio for monitoring. This cuts down on unnecessary
cabling, and means you can take advantage of a consistent audio monitoring
environment whatever you are currently doing with your host system.
NOTE: On first use, you will need to tell your operating system to use AJA hardware as
