Using the Monitor Mixer

To use the ProFire 610 Monitor Mixer:

1. Select the tab that corresponds to the hardware outputs to which you would like to send your monitor

mix. For example, if you wish to create a mix that routes to analog outputs 7/8, select the “Analog Out

7/8” tab.

✓ TIP: Keep in mind that the ﬁrst and second headphone outputs are hardwired to analog

outputs 1/2 and 3/4. If you would like to route your monitor mixes to the ﬁrst or second

headphone outputs, select the “Analog Out 1/2” or “Analog Out 3/4” tabs, respectively.

2. Adjust the level faders for the hardware input and software return channels to create a comfortable

monitor mix for the listener.

appear on channels one and two of the mixer.

to the mixer’s associated hardware output pair (on the rear-panel of ProFire 610).

✓ Keep in mind that this mixer is for monitoring purposes only. All signals received at the

hardware inputs are also sent directly to the recording application without being altered.

The Monitor Mixer receives duplicates of these input signals to allow you to create a near-

zero latency monitor mix. Changes made to the monitor mixer do not affect your recordings

(or your audio software), since the Monitor Mixer’s output is not actually being recorded.

For example, if the singer would prefer to not hear guitars while recording, the guitar

channel of the singer’s monitor mixer can simply be muted without affecting the recording

application in any way.

3. Use the pan knob to adjust the position of a sound between the left and right channels. Note that

double-clicking a knob will “center” it.
