Outputs

Output routing can be done flexibly through the routing matrix, allowing you to route any input to any output.

Mono / Stereo Routing

Some outputs (such as Headphones) can only be routed stereo.

  • Stereo outputs can use any of the sources listed above
  • Mono outputs can use either the left or right channel of the Internal sum (Internal sum L/R)

Available Output Sources

The internal routing option allows you to assign various sources to your outputs. See output routing.

Sum & Monitoring Sources

These sources provide the internal mix with or without pre fader listening.

Direct Source Routing

Use these sources to directly capture an input by routing it to an output.

Processed Channels

Channel 1 and 2 can also be output after processing, but pre-fader.

Source GroupAvailable OptionsDescription
Channel 1 processedCh 1 processed L/RDirect output of channel 1 after processing but pre fader
Channel 2 processedCh 2 processed L/RDirect output of channel 2 after processing but pre fader
tip

Processed channel output sources are only available for mono routed outputs.

Headphone Output

ConnectorDefault SourceComment
HP 1 (Stereo)Internal sum + PFLUse to listen to your own voice and monitor all other signals. When you press PFL, the signal will be replaced by the channel in PFL.
HP 2 (Stereo)Internal sum + PFLUse to listen to your own voice and monitor all other signals. When you press PFL, the signal will be replaced by the channel in PFL.

Speaker / Line Output

ConnectorDefault SourceComment
Out 1 (mono)Internal sum + PFL LUse to listen to your own voice and monitor all other signals. When you press PFL, the signal will be replaced by the channel in PFL.
Out 2 (mono)Internal sum + PFL RUse to listen to your own voice and monitor all other signals. When you press PFL, the signal will be replaced by the channel in PFL.
tip

Speakers can be automatically muted if a microphone is switched on. This is to prevent unwanted audio feedback. Mute speakers when mic is on setting will disable / enable this feature.

Bluetooth Output
