With plenty of backlit buttons, you can see what’s happening at a glance Thankfully there’s a dedicated backlit button to mono the inputs, and the headphone and monitoring knobs also have integrated blue LEDs. The hardware monitoring influences both the headphone and main output, and by default inputs 1 and 2 are panned to opposite sides. Next to this, you’ll find the zero-latency hardware monitoring balance (Input/USB), and then the headphone output and level control. The front panel has a large Monitor output control alongside 6-part 3-colour level meters.
