Configuring 96i I/O Controls
To configure controls for a 96i I/O:
1 With the 96i I/O selected in the Peripherals
list, configure your I/O front panel meters for in-
put or output metering from the Meters pop-up.
2 Set input sensitivity by doing the following:
• For Inputs 1–4, set the input trim slider to
match the output level of the connected in-
strument. Choices range from –12 dBV to
+4 dBu. If you do not know the output
level of the device, use the default input
trim level, then fine tune the input level
sensitivity.
• For each input 5–16 being used, select
–8 dBV or +4 dBu as appropriate to best
match the output level of the connected in-
strument.
3 Set Output levels (select –10 dBV or +4 dBu).
4 Click Done.
You can select analog or digital input as sources
for 96i I/O channels 1–2. Only channels 1–2 can
access the S/PDIF inputs.
To select analog or digital input for channels 1-2:
1 Choose Setup > Hardware, and select 96i I/O in
the Peripherals list to display the 96i I/O win-
dow.
2 Click to set Ch 1–2 Input to Analog or S/PDIF,
as appropriate.
Configuring I/O Setup
The I/O Setup provides a graphical representa-
tion of the signal routing for each connected au-
dio interface, with controls to route physical
ports on the audio interface to Pro Tools inputs
and outputs. These controls mirror the routing
controls found in the Hardware Setup—changes
made to physical routing in one is always re-
flected in the other.
The I/O Setup lets you label and map Pro Tools
input, output, insert, and bus signal paths. The
I/O Setup also provides important audition, me-
ter, and surround settings. For more informa-
tion, see Chapter 7, “I/O Setup.”
Hardware Setup for 96i I/O
The 96i I/O only supports analog and digi-
tal switching for channels 1–2, and only
from within the Hardware Setup and I/O
Setup. The 96i I/O does not support path re-
mapping within I/O Setup.
