Outputs
You may have noticed that, with the exception of the USB play channels, all input sources are muted/off by default. The output
sources are the opposite, all un-muted/on by default. To select an Output to assign input sources to, to mute, or to control its level,
press the Output Selection button to reveal the Select Output menu:
Outputs are labeled clearly for selection.
Unlike with input sources, all three digital outputs are individually
selectable, as are the ADAT Outputs.
Please note, if the Optical Out Mode on the Home menu is set to
SPDIF, then the ADAT outputs will not be shown and cannot be
selected. If the Optical Out Mode is set to ADAT, then the SPDIF
OPT option will be grayed out and cannot be selected. Note - when
one wishes to use ADAT I/O, it would be more typical to select 16-
channel mode, so that the ADAT channels can be independent from
the other Hilo outputs.
When the 16-channel USB Mode is engaged, all 16 USB input and
output channels are visible and available.
The Hilo Headphone Jack also has “jack sense” and can appear
dynamically. When headphones are connected to the front panel
Phones jack, then Phones is selectable as an Output choice. If
headphones are NOT connected to the Phones jack, then the Phones
selection is grayed out and not selectable.
The USB Record devices correspond to the input options that will appear in OSX or Windows recording software. As with the USB
Play devices, there are default settings of Hilo inputs that stream to these record devices:
Line In:
USB Record 1+2
Digital In:
USB Record 3+4
Unassigned:
USB Record 5+6 and 7+8
ADAT In 1-8
USB Record 9-16
One may note that USB Play devices can be routed to USB record devices. This has interesting possibilities for anyone who wishes to
record playback streams in the computer. For instance, one can be playing audio from the internet and record it into their DAW.
