Input Meter Modes
There are two meter display modes. Pressing the In button multiple times allows you to toggle between:
l Signal Level mode, indicated by the green LED. The LED meters display VU (signal level) and will
react to the input signal in real time.
l Gain Set mode, indicated by the red LED. The LED meters display the gain setting and adjust to
clockwise or counter-clockwise motion of the Rotary Control Dial.
The 1 and 2 LEDs will turn red to indicate clipping any time the audio signal exceeds acceptable levels.
These clipping indicators will appear regardless of what mode the Touch Panel is currently operating in.
Direct Monitoring
Direct Monitoring (DM) is a key feature of the ConnectAUDIO
2/4
. It enables you to monitor audio input dir-
ectly from the ConnectAUDIO
2/4
interface without the latency introduced when monitoring the same sig-
nal through your DAW.
DM offers Mono and Stereo modes and provides Rotary Dial control to balance the level between your
audio input(s) and the computer output.
How to Enable Direct Monitoring
1. Touch Direct on the Touch Panel. The Direct LEDindicator will display green and initialize in Mono
mode by default.
2. Select the inputs (1, 2, or both) to be monitored.
3. Use the Rotary Dial to adjust the balance between audio from the input(s) and USB audio.
Working with Direct Monitoring:Mono/Stereo Modes
When you first initialize DM, it will be enabled in Mono Mode by default. If both inputs are enabled, there
will be no panning between audio sources. Toggling DM to Stereo Mode allows you to auto-pan Inputs 1
and 2 to the Left and Right sides of the stereo spectrum and enables clearer monitoring of multiple
sources.
