Output Faders
At the bottom of the Outputs/Router tab, you will see all of your physical outputs enumerated (Analog 1
through S/PDIF R). Each output is visually represented as a fader.
 Channel Fader
The fader controls the volume of the signal on any given output. A meter to
the right of the fader indicates the level in real time.
 Real-time Decibel Readout
Above the meter on each channel strip, you will see a number. This is the
decibel (dB) level of the signal being routed to that ouput.
 Fader Attenuation
Below the meter you can see the fader attenuation (-96 to 0 dB). Unity is
indicated by O dB and is achieved by raising the fader all the way up. When
the fader is at its lowest position, the value will be -96 dB.
 Clip Indicator
Each meter is equipped with a clip indicator to alert you should your levels
get too hot. A red “C” will illuminate when the track has clipped and will
remain illuminated until it has been reset. To reset the meter, simply click on
the “C”.
 Stereo Link
The Link button joins outputs into stereo pairs. To enable this, simply click
on the word “LINK.” The letters will turn blue. To separate the channels,
click the word “LINK” again. When channels are linked, the volume of both
will be controlled with either fader.
 Mute
The Mute button cuts all signal coming from the specified output. If the
channels are linked, muting either of the channels will mute both.
