Front Panel descriptions

1. MIC/INST INPUTS – Unbalanced Instrument and Mic level inputs. These Neutrik hybrid connectors will accept a standard three-pin XLR

plug or a 1/4” TS connector.

2. MIC/LINE SELECTOR – This switch toggles the unit between Mic/Inst inputs and the rear panel Line Inputs. In the OUT position, Mic/Inst

inputs are selected and active, and the Line Inputs are defeated; in the IN position, Line Inputs are selected and active, and the Mic/Inst

Inputs are defeated.

3. PAD – inserts a 20dB pad into the input circuit, lowering the input level. Use this PAD when the input level of your analog signal is too

hot – as indicated by illumination of the CLIP LED – even with the INPUT GAIN LEVEL at or near minimum.

4. INPUT GAIN LEVEL – This potentiometer controls the input level of its associated analog Mic/Instrument/Line input.

5. SIGNAL LED – When lit, this LED indicates the presence of an audio signal at the associated Mic/Inst input.

6. CLIP LED – When lit, this LED indicates too hot an input signal at the associated Mic/Inst input. The LED will light when the signal is 3dB

below the clipping point.

7. OUTPUT SIGNAL METERS – This dual four-segment LED meter indicates the signal level of the outputs as selected in the FireWire 410’s

control panel. Refer to Section 11, Control Panel Tour, for further details.

8. LEVEL CONTROLLER – This continuous rotary encoder regulates the signal level of the buses as selected in the FireWire 410’s control

panel. The default setting is OUTPUT, which is the most likely choice for general monitoring. The other options available are:

•SW Return – The level of the FireWire 410’s ten virtual outputs, returning from your digital audio software to the control panel’s Mixer

•Output – The level of the FireWire 410’s eight analog and two digital outputs

•Input – The level of the FireWire 410’s two analog and two digital inputs

Note: When playing back at 192KHz, the LED meter is inactive.
