SUM Button:
In it’s normal state, the SRI-2 will route input 1 to the left monitor output, and input 2 to the right
monitor output. When the SUM button is engaged, however, it will combine both input signals to the
main channel outputs, centering the input channels and creating a mono out to your monitors.
(This is handy for a live performance setup where, for instance, a microphone is in input 1 and
guitar is in input 2).
NOTE: The SUM function will not sum the inputs that come out of the USB connection – only
through the main monitor outputs on the back of the SRI-2 hardware.
DAW / Input Knob:
When this knob is turned all the way to the left (DAW), you will only hear what your DAW is playing
back. This includes tracks that are record and/or input enabled. If your system can handle low
buffer sizes, you can achieve near zero latency monitoring with the SRI-2 in this mode.
When this knob is turned all the way to the right (Input), you will only be able to monitor what is
plugged directly into the SRI-2’s inputs. This mode turns down the playback from your DAW
completely. You will notice that the signal from input 1 is only present in your left headphone ear
cup and the input from channel 2 is only present in the right ear cup (this also is true for you
speakers if you are recording with your monitor volume turned up). When recording stereo signals
this is fine, but when recording mono signals, you might want to sum the monitoring of the two
inputs so that they end up in the center of your headphones and speakers. This is achieved by
pressing the SUM button above the DAW / INPUT knob.
