In the Graphic above, we see the default state of USB channels 1&2 being routed to the Hilo’s Line Out.
This is for signals from the Analog Line In ports.
Of the three stereo digital formats: AES, SPDIF Coax and SPDIF Optical, only one can be
active at a time. This is selected from the “Digital In Source” button from the Home menu.
These sources correspond to USB play devices that will appear in the host
computer. Unlike most computer audio interfaces, with Hilo these sources are user
routable for maximum flexibility.
Upon installation, each pair of computer play devices will be pre-assigned to
physical outputs on Hilo. In addition, the first channel pair, USB 1+2, will deliver
audio to every output on Hilo. This is very useful for initial set up, whether you are
listening to the headphone out, a digital out, monitor outs, whatever – you will get
audio when you choose 1+2 as the play device.
The USB play routings are:
Line Out: USB 1+2
Monitor Out: USB 1+2 and 3+4
Phones: USB 1+2 and 5+6
Digital Out XLR (AES): USB 1+2 and 7+8
Digital Out Coax: USB 1+2 and 9+10
Digital Out Optical: USB 1+2 and 11+12
ADAT Out 1-8: USB 1+2 and 9-16 (when Hilo is in 16-channel mode)
The ADAT Outputs will not appear on the Outputs Mix Routing Page unless ADAT is selected as the Optical format
f r o m OPTICAL OUT MODE on the Home page.
You may have noticed that, with the exception of the USB play channels, all input sources are muted/off by default.
The output sources are the opposite, all un-muted/on by default. To select an Output to assign input sources to, to mute,
or to control its level, press the Output Selection button to reveal the Select Output menu:
