Monitor Section
The Monitor section provides the following 
control room monitoring features:
Alternate Input Routing Controls
Aux In to 7/8 Switch This switch routes the Aux 
In input pair to Inputs 7 and 8 of Pro Tools, and 
does not send it to the Main Monitor Outputs 
unless this routing is set up in Pro Tools, or the 
Aux In (to Monitor) switch is engaged. This lets 
you route an alternate input signal (such as a CD 
player) directly into Pro Tools without the need 
to repatch any cables.
When Aux In to 7/8 is enabled (lit), Analog In-
puts 7–8 are disabled. 
3/4-HP2 Switch This switch sets the 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.
If you press the Aux In (to Monitor) switch in 
conjunction with the Aux In to 7/8 switch, you 
will hear the pre-fader input of the Aux In in the 
Main Monitor outputs, and can record that in-
put into Pro Tools from Inputs 7/8. Addition-
ally, if you send the output of any track with in-
puts 7/8 back to the Main Monitor outputs, this 
can result in a doubled signal.
Alt CR (Control Room) Switch This switch mutes 
the Main Monitor output and routes the signal 
to the Alt Monitor 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 and Headphone Level Controls
Monitor Level Control These knobs control the 
volume of the Main and Alt Monitor Outputs. 
These outputs mirror Analog Outputs1–2, which 
correspond to outputs 1–2 in Pro Tools.
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 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. 
Headphone Jacks
Headphone Output 1 and 2 jacks accept stan-
dard 1/4-inch stereo headphone connectors. 
The jacks are located on the front of the 003.
