Inputs 3-6 are on the rear panel: 1/4” Jack Inputs (Inputs 3 and 4) for Line- or Intrument-level
sources and an RCA/Phono Input (Inputs 5 and 6) for a S/PDIF signal. There are also 6 balanced
analogue outputs for connecting directly to speakers or an amp. Outputs 1 and 2 are the Main
Monitors Outputs and Outputs 3 and 4 are the same signal as that sent to the Headphones Output
on the front panel. Latency-free mixing/monitoring of all 6 Inputs and 4 stereo tracks from the
sequencer (playback tracks) is available within the accompanying software SaffireControl LE.

The upper half of the SaffireControl LE GUI is for setting the levels of Inputs and Playback tracks
(audio routed to Saffire LE Outputs 1-8 within the sequencer) on Outputs 1 and 2 of Saffire LE – the
Monitors
Outputs. The lower half is for setting the levels of Inputs and Playback tracks on Outputs 3
and 4 – the
Headphones
Outputs. The central section of the GUI features level controls for the
Analogue Outputs (1-6), with Gain dials, mutes and sliders for crossfading between Inputs and
Playback tracks on Outputs 1-4. In the bottom right corner are software settings buttons
like Float and Shrink, as well as sample rate options.
