HEADPHONE MONITOR ASSIGNS – You can monitor any of the FireWire 410’s output buses via the Headphones bus. Using the MONITOR

ASSIGNS you can select any or all of the five output buses to route to the headphones. Note that this single source selection applies to both

of the headphone output jacks—both headphone outs receive the same source.

HEADPHONE MAIN/AUX BUTTON – When the MAIN/AUX button is in the MAIN position, the headphone bus monitors the outputs selected

by the MONITOR ASSIGNS, above. When the MAIN/AUX button is in the AUX position, the headphone bus monitors the signal routed to the

AUX L and AUX R buses.

HEADPHONE MUTE BUTTON - Selecting the MUTE button (the button turns red) will cause the headphone channels to cease audio output.

Deselecting the MUTE button will resume audio output on the headphone channels.

METERING – At the bottom of the OUTPUT PAGE, software level meters are provided for the FireWire 410’s analog and digital inputs, as well

as for the ten virtual software return channel inputs. This is provided as a quick reference to what’s going on in the Mixer page.

Hardware Page

The hardware page gives you access to important information and functions of the FireWire 410.

SAMPLE RATE DETECTED – This field displays the currently-detected sample rate from the currently selected sync source.

ASIO/WDM BUFFER SIZE – In this field you can select the buffer size you wish to work with. Smaller buffer sizes result in lower latency (the

time it takes for your input signal to pass through your audio software and appear at the outputs), but may not function well with slower

systems. The default buffer size setting is 256. This setting may adequately serve your purposes, but if you wish to, you can experiment with

lower settings. If you experience stuttering or crackling in your audio playback, try using a larger buffer size.

SYNC SOURCE – This field allows you to choose between the FireWire 410’s INTERNAL clock and an EXTERNAL clock source. INTERNAL selects

the incoming clock from the 1394 bus as set by your audio software. Use EXTERNAL when you wish to record from the S/PDIF inputs, or

otherwise lock to the sample rate from an external S/PDIF source.

S/PDIF INPUT – This field selects between TOSLink optical and RCA coaxial input source. Note that both optical and coaxial outputs are

available simultaneously, but only one input source may be used at a time.

FIRMWARE INFO – This field displays the current firmware version of your FireWire 410.
