Deactivate Inputs
Deactivate inputs by turning the Input Gain Pot to the full counter-clockwise (Off) position, the pot
should click off. A deactivated input is muted and un-routed from any of its designated tracks. Deac-
tivated inputs disables associated circuitry and ultimately extends battery life. Input Activity LEDs
for each respective input will remain off when deactivated. When an input is clicked to Off the Input
Selector/Solo Switch for the respective input will also be deactivated.
Tip: Clicking on and off Input Gain Pots can be used to arm and disarm tracks. In order for a track to be
recorded, it must have at least one active input routed to it. Because of this rule, deactivating an
input will effectively disarm the associated track, given than no other active inputs routed to it. If it
is desired to record an empty or silent track without effecting audio levels the Input can be muted in
the Input Settings Window.
Outputs – Analog and Digital
The 788T has six analog and six digital outputs. Each of these outputs is assigned an audio source
independently, enabling the 788T to feed multiple outputs with unique program. Although there are
only six outputs, it is possible to output all eight inputs individually by using the Headphone Out-
put together with the six outputs.
Output Routing
The audio sources for each output bus are set in the Setup Menu option OUTPUT: ROUTING. Rotat-
ing the Rotary Switch will move the highlight box amongst the available sources. Pushing the Rotary
Switch will toggle the routing status of the highlighted item. The Menu and HDD buttons will scroll
the view up and down to access other outputs.
The chart below shows the audio sources available for each of the Output Busses. Each row in this
table represents a group of sources that is mutually exclusive from the sources represented in other
rows.
Available Output Sources Description
Input 1
Input 2
Input 3
Input 4
Input 5
Input 6
Input 7
Input 8
Inputs are assignable to each output bus.
When inputs are selected as the source for the outputs, the state of recording or
playback activity has no effect on the output signal. This allows for uninterrupted
audio at the outputs.

Tracks are assignable to each output bus.
HP Mix Left Headphone left or headphone right sources are assignable to each output bus. Output
mutes do not affect headphone sources. Headphone program is sent to the outputs
before the CL-9 is introduced in the signal path.
