input. This phantom power circuit is suitable for most condenser microphones.
5. Input gain level controls 1/2
This potentiometer controls the input level of its associated analog
Mic/Instrument/Line input.
6. Hardware / PC Monitoring Control
Hardware direct monitoring ( Clockwise - "Direct Out" ) eliminates the latency or
delay inherent in even the best internal circuitry while listening to your input and
existing tracks. You can also listen to your input complete with effects (Counter-
Clockwise - "PC") while recording by using extremely the low-latency ASIO
monitoring.
7. Headphone output
The output jack accepts a standard 1/4" stereo TRS headphone connector with
individual level regulated by the HEADPHONE LEVEL CONTROLS. The default
source selection for the headphone output is identical to line outputs 1/2.
