5.3 Pull Down Menu (Windows)

There are three functions in the pull down menu of the Control Panel under Windows:
Config > Factory Default. Use this to restore all ESU1808 settings to the recommended defaults.
Config > Samplerate. This sub menu allows you to change the operating sample rate of ESU1808.
Config > Latency. Allows you to change the latency (= buffer size) of the ASIO driver of ESU1808.
Check section 7.2 with more details.

5.4 Pull Down Menu (Mac OS X)

There are three functions in the pull down menu of the Control Panel under Mac OS X:
Configuration > Restore Factory Defaults. Use this to restore all ESU1808 settings to the
recommended defaults.
Configuration > Always on Top. Use this to make sure that the ESU1808 panel is visible on screen
even if other application windows are in the front.
Help > Launch Apple Audio MIDI Setup. Via this entry, you can directly launch the Audio MIDI
Setup utility (described in section 7.3). Several functions of ESU1808 under Mac OS X should be
controlled there rather than in the ESU1808 Control Panel.

6. Hardware Monitoring / Mix Out

ESU1808 provides extensive features for hardware monitoring. You can monitor signals via the
MIX OUT output located on the rear panel of ESU1808 and via the headphone output (H.P OUT
connector) when activated (H.P OUT switch) on the front panel. In the later case, both the
headphone and MIX OUT output send out the same signal.
The monitoring is controlled by two switches inside the Control Panel and by the separate
monitoring section on the hardware. Here is a description for each of them:

6.1 Enable Monitoring / MIX button

The MIX button is located in the Control Panel. When activated it is displayed in blue
color, when deactivated in gray. The MIX function is the most essential part of the
hardware monitoring of ESU1808. Only when enabled, the MIX OUT output sends out a
monitoring mix generated from all input and all playback signals. If disabled, MIX OUT will turn
into the line output for channel 7/8.
Caution: when you activate or deactivate the MIX function while playback is running, a small click
can be heard on all playback channels and the signal is interrupted for a second. This behavior is
normal and not harmful.
