The 9321 is best thought of as having a large audio router, with a variety of input format and output
formats available. Router inputs are de-embedded audio, discrete AES audio, differential analog audio.
Router outputs are embedded audio.
Each router output provides a gain and polarity control, and each router output can be sourced from
any input channel. This router feature gives your 9321 a great deal of flexibility.
