contains the instrument input and headphone output jacks.
From left to right:
· Instrument input jacks 1&2: mono unbalanced jacks, high impedance, with finely adjustable gain
control. See Analogue
· Meter panel: see below.
Assignable level control: Volume knob which can be assigned to any of Atlas's outputs (except for
·
the headphone output), as required. This is primarily intended as a monitor volume control for
stereo monitoring. Note that pressing the knob mutes any outputs assigned to the control; this
state is indicated by the LED halo around the knob flashing.
· Headphone jacks 1&2: each with its own volume control.
· Standby button: puts the unit into a low-power standby state. Note that the USB interface is still
active in standby mode, so the Atlas 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 app is clicked. Entering standby mode causes Atlas
to retain its current software control settings in flash, for example for use in stand-alone mode.
Meter panel
The meter panel contains metering for the analogue input and output channels and the S/PDIF input
and output channels. It also contains the input selection indicators and 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.
