S/PDIF outputs, as required. This is primarily intended as a monitor volume control for stereo or
surround monitoring.
· Headphone jacks 1&2: each with its own volume control.
· Standby button: puts the unit into a low-power standby state. Note that the FireWire interface is still
active in standby mode, so the Orpheus unit can still be recognised by the host, although its inputs
and outputs are inactive. The LED in the standby button flashes to identify the unit in multi-unit
setups when the 'Identify' button in the Control Panel applet is clicked. Entering standby mode
causes Orpheus to retain its current software control settings in flash, for example for use in
stand-alone mode.

The meter panel contains metering for the eight analogue input and output channels and the two
S/PDIF input and output channels. It also contains input selection indicators for inputs 1-4, Overkiller
activity indicators for all the analogue inputs, unlock and SRC indicators for the S/PDIF input, and an
SRC indicator for the S/PDIF output.
