Analog Outputs

Phones Out

w1A 311 1C 1

The front TRS connector can be used for phones or as a balanced mono output. Any incoming signal can be routed to the phones output. Analog input signals can be temporarily routed to the phones output while the original routing remains saved. A button on the standby screen gives access to all features of the output.
The analog output level meters show the routed input signal relative to 0 dBFS (pre gain) in grey color in the background, and additionally the calculated output level post gain in green color in the foreground.

The volume of the unbalanced phone outputs can be adjusted separately or as a stereo pair.

To adjust the headphone volume on the device:

  1. While on the main screen, rotate the encoder. The current volume will be shown below the encoder on the screen.
