The front panel includes the input connectors for mic and line/instrument signals, and the input gain
and monitoring controls.
1. Input 1 – electronically balanced input via 3-pin XLR socket for microphones.
2. GAIN 1 – adjust the gain for the microphone signal at Input 1. The gain control has a concentric
bi-colour LED ‘ring’ to confirm signal level: green indicates an input level of at least -24 dBFS
(i.e., ‘signal present’), the ring then turns red when signal level reaches 0 dBFS, indicating
digital clipping.
3. 48V – phantom power switch for mic input - enables 48 V phantom power at the XLR socket.
4. Input 2 – for connecting instruments (unbalanced) or line level (balanced) sources; ¼” TRS
jack socket.
5. GAIN 2 – adjusts the gain for the line/instrument signal at Input 2. The gain control has a bi-
colour LED ring as [2].
6. INST/LINE – Instrument/Line level switch for Input 2 – switches gain to suit instrument or
line level signals.
7. MONITOR – main monitor output level control - sets the output level at the rear panel outputs
and the front panel headphone output.
8. USB LED – illuminates when the unit receives USB bus power and is confirmed by the
computer as connected and operating correctly.
9. DIRECT MONITOR – selects monitoring of input signals (mixed with the DAW output) to be
directly from inputs (ON) or via the DAW (OFF).
