Setup Guide

003 Family Setup Guide56
Mic/DI Switches (Inputs 1–4) Each switch tog-
gles the corresponding input between micro-
phone (unlit) or DI input (lit). 
The DI/Mic switch LEDs indicate the current 
source input. The LEDs blink rapidly when the 
input is clipping.
HPF (High Pass Filter) Switches (Input 1–4) 
These switches enable a high pass filter (75 Hz, 
12 dB/octave rolloff) on the corresponding in-
put, for filtering out rumble or AC hum. The 
HPF LEDs are lit when the HPF switch is enabled 
(lit).
Monitor Section
The Monitor section provides the following 
control room monitoring features:
Monitor and Headphone Level Controls
Headphone 1 and 2 Level Controls These knobs 
control the volume of the independent Head-
phone Outputs. The Headphone Outputs nor-
mally mirror outputs 1–2 in Pro Tools, and are 
independent of the Monitor Outputs. 
Headphone 2 mirrors output pair 3–4 when the 
3/4-HP2 switch is enabled (lit). Both head-
phones include Aux In signal when Aux In (to 
monitor) is enabled. 
Headphone output is not affected by the status 
of the Monitor Mute switch, but does follow sta-
tus of the Mono switch. 
Monitor Level Control These knobs control the 
volume of the Main and Alt Monitor Outputs. 
These outputs mirror Analog Outputs 1–2, 
which correspond to outputs 1–2 in Pro Tools.
Alternate Input Routing Controls
Aux In to 7/8 Switch This switch routes the Aux 
In input pair directly to Inputs 7–8 of Pro Tools, 
and does not send it to the Main and Alt Moni-
tor Outputs. This lets you route an alternate in-
put signal (such as a CD player) directly into 
Pro Tools without the need to repatch any ca-
bles.
When Aux In to 7/8 is enabled (lit), Analog In-
puts 7–8 are disabled. 
3/4-HP2 Switch This switch sets Headphone 2 
Output to mirror Output pair 3–4.
Aux In (to Monitor) Switch This switch routes 
the Aux In input pair directly to the Main Mon-
itor and Headphone Outputs.
Alt CR (Control Room) Switch This switch mutes 
the Main Monitor output and routes the signal 
to the Alt CR output.
Mono Switch This switch temporarily combines 
Output 1–2 in the Main and Alt Monitor Out-
puts and the Headphone Outputs. This is help-
ful for checking the phase relationships of stereo 
material.
Monitor Mute Switch This switch mutes the 
Main and Alt Monitor Outputs only, and has no 
effect on the Headphone Outputs. Monitor 
Mute is automatically engaged when you power 
up the unit. 
Engage the Mic switch only if you have an 
XLR cable plugged into the mic connector. 
Leaving the switch engaged with nothing 
connected may introduce low-level noise.
