DIRECT PATCH LINE MIXER
All 12 channels of the line mixer are routed directly to the
Headphone/Main Output volume control knobs/outputs. Every two/four
(according to the signal designation) channels are grouped together
sequentially to one dual concentric knob.
4.8 Channels One-Eight
The first two knobs allow for independent channel volume control
without panning (one and two, three and four). The amount of volume
given to each channel dictates the amount of volume to the
headphone/main out. The second two knobs group the channels in
stereo pairs (five and six, seven and eight). The inner part of the knob
controls the amount of signal (volume) that goes to the
headphone/main control and the outer ring controls panning. Each pair
of channels is routed directly to the headphone/main outputs.
Therefore, the FIREstation can be used as a line mixer without
connection to a computer. There is no latency or delay between the
time the signal hits the respective input and goes to the
headphone/main output. This routing scenario ensures that what is
heard through the headphone/main output is occurring at exactly that
moment.
