5.3 Pull Down Menu (Windows) 

There are three functions in the pull down menu of the Control Panel under Windows: 

Config

 > 

Factory Default

. Use this to restore all ESU1808 settings to the recommended defaults. 

Config

 > 

Samplerate

. This sub menu allows you to change the operating sample rate of ESU1808. 

Config

 > 

Latency

. Allows you to change the latency (= buffer size) of the ASIO driver of ESU1808. 

Check section 7.2 with more details. 

5.4 Pull Down Menu (Mac OS X) 

There are three functions in the pull down menu of the Control Panel under Mac OS X: 

Configuration

 > 

Restore Factory Defaults

. Use this to restore all ESU1808 settings to the 

recommended defaults. 

Configuration

 > 

Always on Top

. Use this to make sure that the ESU1808 panel is visible on screen 

even if other application windows are in the front. 

Help

 > 

Launch Apple Audio MIDI Setup

. Via this entry, you can directly launch the Audio MIDI 

Setup utility (described in section 7.3). Several functions of ESU1808 under Mac OS X should be 
controlled there rather than in the ESU1808 Control Panel. 

6. Hardware Monitoring / Mix Out 

ESU1808 provides extensive features for hardware monitoring. You can monitor signals via the 

MIX OUT

 output located on the rear panel of ESU1808 and via the headphone output (

H.P OUT

 

connector) when activated (

H.P OUT

 switch) on the front panel. In the later case, both the 

headphone and 

MIX OUT

 output send out the same signal. 

The monitoring is controlled by two switches inside the Control Panel and by the separate 
monitoring section on the hardware. Here is a description for each of them: 

6.1 Enable Monitoring / MIX button 

The 

MIX 

button is located in the Control Panel. When activated it is displayed in blue 

color, when deactivated in gray. The 

MIX

 function is the most essential part of the 

hardware monitoring of ESU1808. Only when enabled, the 

MIX OUT

 output sends out a 

monitoring mix generated from all input and all playback signals. If disabled, 

MIX OUT

 will turn 

into the line output for channel 7/8. 

Caution:

 when you activate or deactivate the 

MIX 

function while playback is running, a small click 

can be heard on all playback channels and the signal is interrupted for a second. This behavior is 
normal and not harmful.
