The “Routing” page is where you control what sources you are able to monitor and record. This page involves
“global” routing. You can get more sophisticated, with per-channel routing, using the NControl software
when using the USB, Thunderbolt or Dante connection methods. This page, however, is ideal for setting
source to destination for all channels quickly, or for setting up the Aurora
(n)
routing independently of the
computer.
“To Line Out” will default to signals from the computer (via Thunderbolt, USB, etc), and signals from
playback of the SD card. You can select “Line In” instead of, or in addition to, the default settings if you wish
to route line input signals directly to their corresponding line outputs (In 1 to Out 1, In 2 to Out 2, etc).
Multiple “To Line Out” sources can be selected, you can even select all inputs if you wish. Please be aware
that if multiple sources are all selected and playing at the same time, overloads can occur.
If LM-DIG module is installed, “To Digital Out” will default to signals from the computer (via Thunderbolt,
USB, etc), and signals from playback of the SD card. You can select “Line In” instead of, or in addition to,
the default settings if you wish to route line input signals directly to their corresponding digital outputs (In 1
to Out 1, In 2 to Out 2, etc.) Multiple “To Digital Out” sources can be selected, you can even select all inputs
if you wish. Please be aware that if multiple sources are all selected and playing at the same time, overloads
can occur. If the DB-ADAT module is installed, “ADAT In” will appear in addition to “AES In” as a source
and the ADAT Outputs will mirror the signals sent to the AES Outputs.
The “To Thunderbolt” (or “To USB” / “To Dante” / “To DigiLink”) selection can be “Line In”; “AES In”;
“ADAT In”; “Preamp In” (depending on the configuration) or “SD Card Play”. Sending multiple sources per
output channel is not possible for this type of output. Choosing “SD Card Play” sends signals from your
active SD Card Session down to the computer for recording or processing. Sources are routed in order starting
with Line In 1 through Preamp In 8 (again, depending on the configuration). If there are too many source
channels to route to the LSlot outputs (when the USB is in 8-channel mode, for instance), source buttons are
turned off to show which channels are actually being routed. Please note that Preamp In source will never be
automatically turned off. This means that the Aurora
(n)
PRE1608-USB model running in 8-channel USB
mode will need to have the Preamp In source turned off manually before the Line In source can be selected.
Custom LSlot channel routing can be done in NControl by using the Menu > LSlot record source (where
“LSlot” is replaced with the computer interface name.)
Use the rotary encoder to switch between choices, and the Select button, or press in the rotary encoder, to set
the choice. Use the Function button to toggle between TO LINE OUT; TO DIGITAL OUT and TO
THUNDERBOLT (or TO USB/TO DANTE/TO HD).
