User Manual

4. Inst Switch 1/2
Turn on/off the input impedance. Please turn the inst switch on when connecting Hi-Z instruments such as an electric guitar/bass to achieve better input
effects.
1. It's recommended to set the gain of AD5 to the minimum before turning on/off Inst switch to avoid feedback problems and damage to the devices.
2. When connecting devices not requiring high inpedance to IN1/2 port, please make sure to turn off Inst switch.
3. To protect your speaker system, leave the monitor speakers turned off when turning the Inst switch on/off.
5. 3.5mm Monitoring Port 1
Plug in 3.5mm TRS/TRRS headphones to monitor.
6. Monitoring Mode Switch
Turn on/off Direct monitoring mode. In direct monitoring mode, AD5 will route the audio signals from IN1/2 directly to the monitor outputs and headphones with
zero latency. In input monitoring mode, audio signals from IN1/2 will be routed to the DAW software and then to the monitor outputs and headphones with
mixed audio, which will cause a delay in monitoring.
7. Loopback Switch
Loopback uses the 'virtual' inputs, which have no physical connectors on the audio interface itself but can directly route the digital signal streams back to
DAW software, it can capture all the audio signals from your computer(e.g., the audio signal output from a web browser) to input to the audio interface.
Short press to turn on/of Loopback. When Loopback is on, AD5 will output audio signals both from IN1/2 and USB-C ports; When Loopback is off, AD5 will
output audio signals from IN1/2 ports.
8. Monitoring Volume Control Knob
Adjust the volume level of the monitoring port1/2.
Loopback only affects the audio output of the USB-C port, not the 3.5mm port.
