Standalone Operation

In addition to operating as an audio interface for your computer, ProFire 610 can also operate without a computer
in "standalone mode "
In Standalone mode, ProFire 610 functions as an analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converter
Analog inputs 1-2 are "passed through" to analog outputs 1-2 while simultaneously being converted to digital
and sent out of the S/PDIF output The S/PDIF input is converted to analog and sent out of analog outputs 3-4
To enter Standalone Mode, power down your computer and the ProFire 610 interface, disconnect any FireWire
11
cables attached to the FireWire Connectors , and switch on the interface Keep in mind that all Standalone
Mode settings must be made while the interface is still connected to a computer (i e , ProFire 610 settings cannot
be modified while the unit is operating in Standalone Mode) The parameters in the "Standalone Mode" section
of the Settings tab of the Control Panel determine how ProFire 610 will function while the interface is operating
in Standalone Mode This is a useful feature as it allows you to set the Standalone Mode settings independently
from the hosted settings This saves you from having to reconfigure the Control Panel each time before you use
the interface in Standalone Mode
For more information on configuring ProFire 610 for standalone operation, refer to the "Settings Tab" section of
this user guide.
