Frequently Asked Questions
The Direct In allows you to route a signal directly to a channel without engaging the main input, useful for isolating instruments or vocals for individual headphone monitoring.
While adequate for most headphones, users with very high-impedance models (above 300 Ohms) might find the power a little lacking at higher volumes.
The stereo/mono switch affects the headphone outputs only, allowing you to send a mono signal to individual headphone mixes for practice or monitoring purposes.
