mode.

setup
buttons (
an 2
and
aes / spdif
) on the
headphone source
side. The
setup
lights
will blink. Then press the button with the orange circle (
an 1
) on the
headphone source

toggle
mode (button unlit) and
latch
mode (button lit). Press either of the blinking

4. SPEAKER SOURCE BUTTONS (TOGGLE & LATCH MODE)
[
speaker source buttons pictured above
]
TOGGLE
Feature: Instantly and silently switch between four input sources that feed your speakers (
analog 1
,
analog 2
,
aes / spdif
and
usb
).
Benefit: While mixing, flip between a reference track (i.e. cd source or iPod) and your mix. Or setup two master faders in your
recording software to compare two mixes: one with plug-ins instantiated and the original. (Just two suggestions).
Note: This is the default setup.
LATCH
Feature: Silently select or deselect any combination of 1, 2, 3 or 4 speaker sources (i.e.
analog 1
,
analog 2
,
aes / spdif
and
usb
).
Benefit: Monitor multiple audio inputs simultaneously. For example, feed the master mix into the
usb
input and the drummer’s
click track into
analog 1
. Now you can turn the click off when you realize he’ll never lock to it or continue to monitor
it for places to punch-in and rescue. (See
appendix
for more examples from DJ’s to Producers).
Tip:
,
Headphone sources and Speakers sources are completely independent. (i.e. listen to different things from each).
