Introduction Thanks for choosing the M-Audio FireWire 410 Mobile Recording interface. [. . . ] STEREO LINKING - Input levels from each virtual software return are controlled by software faders; pairs can be linked for stereo operation by clicking the channels' LINK button. Once the channel is linked, grabbing and moving one fader will move both faders in unison. MUTE BUTTON - Selecting the MUTE button (the button turns red) will cause that channel pair to cease audio output. Deselecting the MUTE button will resume audio output on that channel pair. SOLO BUTTON ­ Selecting the SOLO button (the button turns yellow) will cause all other channels to cease audio output; deselecting the SOLO button will resume audio output on all channels. PANNING - The analog and digital input channel pairs also offer virtual PAN pots. As with any typical mixer, the PAN works in conjunction with the output assign buttons to enable you to route the signal as you wish. METERING - At the bottom of the MIXER PAGE, software level meters are provided for each of the FireWire 410's five output buses, as well as the AUX BUS. This is provided as a quick reference to what's going on in the Output page. 19 Output Page The OUTPUT page provides you with control over each of the FireWire 410's analog and digital outputs, as well as that of the AUX BUS and HEADPHONES Bus. OUTPUT CHANNELS ­ Virtual FADERS control the individual channel output levels. The output faders correspond to their respective analog and digital (hardware) outputs. When the MAIN/AUX button is set to MAIN, the OUTPUT CHANNEL gets its signal from the bus assignments selected on the MIXER PAGE. (See MAIN/AUX BUTTON, below. ) BALANCE CONTROLS ­ The BAL control allows you to adjust the balance of the associated pair's stereo output. LINKING - Stereo pairs can be linked together with the LINK button above each channel pair. Once the channel is linked (the button turns blue), grabbing and moving one fader will move both faders in unison. MAIN/AUX BUTTON ­ When the MAIN/AUX button is in the MAIN position (the button turns blue), the associated analog or digital outputs carry their respective bus signals, as determined by the routing selected on the MIXER PAGE: · outputs 1/2 Out carries signals routed to bus 1/2 · outputs 3/4 Out carries signals routed to bus 3/4 · outputs 5/6 Out carries signals routed to bus 5/6 · outputs 7/8 Out carries signals routed to bus 7/8 · outputs SPDIF OUT carries signals routed to bus SPD When the MAIN/AUX button is in the AUX position (the button turns green), the associated analog or digital output pair carries the signal routed to the AUX L and AUX R buses. MUTE BUTTON - Selecting the MUTE button (the button turns red) will cause that channel pair to cease audio output. Deselecting the MUTE button will resume audio output on that channel pair. SOLO BUTTON ­ Selecting the SOLO button (the button turns yellow) will cause all other channels to cease audio output; deselecting the SOLO button will resume audio output on all channels. AUX OUTPUT MASTER CHANNEL ­ This Aux Send Master channel controls the output functions of signals routed to the AUX L and AUX R buses. Both channel faders can be linked together with the LINK button, and the PAN control allows you to pan the output anywhere within the assigned stereo pair. The BAL control allows you to adjust the balance of the stereo signal. When using the AUX SENDS in conjunction with the AUX OUTPUT CHANNEL, you must select an output to be the Aux output by setting the MAIN/AUX switch on that channel to the AUX position. [. . . ] In the event repair is required, shipment to and from M-AUDIO and possible nominal handling charges shall be borne by the purchaser. In the event that repair is required, a Return Authorization number must be obtained from M-AUDIO. After this number is obtained, the unit should be shipped back to M-AUDIO in a protective package with a description of the problem and the Return Authorization clearly written on the package. In the event that M-AUDIO determines that the product requires repair because of user misuse or regular wear, it will assess a fair repair or replacement fee. [. . . ]
