This mode enables the Clarett OctoPre be used to connect an 8-channel ADAT format output (from a
DAW, for example) to a set of analogue inputs, typically the channels of an analogue mixing console,
to permit such a mixer to be used to mix down DAW tracks.

and their outputs remain available at the OPTICAL OUT ports.
