(34) Left & Right Monitor Outputs

These balanced ¼” TRS phone jacks are line-level analog outputs typically used for

connection to a stereo loudspeaker monitoring system. Unbalanced ¼” TS cables can

also be used.

The signal levels and muting at these outputs are controlled with the Monitor Level &

Mute knob (#22).

Note: If MONITOR OUTPUT GAIN is set to BYPASS in the Hardware panel within

the Console Settings window, monitor signals are output at line level (without at-

tenuation) and the Monitor Level knob does not control the Monitor or ALT output

levels. See Monitor Output Gain Bypass for related information.

The Monitor Outputs can be conﬁgured to use an operating level of 14 dBu or 20 dBu.

This option is set in the Hardware panel within the Console Settings window.

The Monitor Outputs are completely independent from the eight Line Outputs (except

when ALT monitoring is conﬁgured). By default, the “1–2” or “L–R” or “Main” outputs

from a DAW are routed to these outputs (these labels vary within each particular DAW).

Tip: The S/PDIF output (#31) can be conﬁgured to mirror the Monitor Outputs, for

routing the stereo monitor signal to the stereo S/PDIF input of other devices. This

feature is set with the DIGITAL MIRROR menu in the Hardware panel within the

Console Settings window.

(35) Line Inputs 5 – 8

These individually addressable line-level analog inputs use balanced ¼” TRS phone

jacks. Unbalanced ¼” TS cables can also be used.

Line Inputs 5 – 8 can be individually conﬁgured to use –10 dBV or +4 dBu reference

levels. This option is set in the channel input strips within the Console application.

Line Inputs 5 & 6 and 7 & 8 can be stereo linked via the Console application.
