7. USB LED – illuminates when the unit receives USB bus power and is confirmed by the computer as connected and operating correctly.

8. DIRECT MONITOR – this switch determines how input sources are to be monitored and steps between three Direct Monitoring modes: OFF, MONO and STEREO. When set to OFF, monitoring of input sources is via the DAW; in MONO or STEREO, monitoring is taken directly from the preamp inputs and is therefore free of any possible latency effect. The symbols or

illuminate green to indicate selection of mono and stereo modes respectively.

9.

Headphone level – adjusts the output level at the front panel stereo headphone output.

10. Headphone socket – ¼” TRS output jack. If your headphones have a ¼” TRS jack plug, connect them directly; if they have a 3.5 mm TRS “mini jack”, use a

TRS ¼”-to-3.5 mm jack adaptor. Note that headphones fitted with 4-pole TRRS plugs will not operate correctly.
