VOLUME, MONO & DIM

The volume knob controls the level of analog

outputs 1 & 2. These outputs would normally

be connected to powered studio monitors.

The signal feeding these outputs comes from

the main outputs of the DAW.

The MONO button is used to sum the stereo

outputs to mono. This is helpful when check-

ing mix balance.

Pressing the DIM button will lower the out-

put level of analog outputs 1 & 2 by 20dB.

This is helpful for quickly lowering the output

levels in order to have a short conversation

without having to change the position of your output level knob.

3.0 Rear Panel

MODULE INPUT SOURCE SWITCH

The rear panel features four XLR inputs. One for each module slot.

Traditionally each XLR input would automatically feed the module

in a standard receiving frame. If you set the “MODULE INPUT

SOURCE” switch to “XLR” that is exactly what happens. However the

USB 500 Rack offers you other options as well. If you set the switch

to “USB” you can assign a DAW hardware output to the input of a

module for that module to become an analog hardware insert pro-

cessor in your DAW. The switch can also be set to “MOD” meaning

that this module receives its input from the output of the previous

module. This setting allows you to set up a “Channel Strip.”
