the computer by USB are mixed using the MONITOR
BALANCE knob. This mix is output from the LINE OUT 1-2
and PHONES jacks.
“Computer Out 1-2”
Only the “Computer Out 1-2” signals sent from the
computer by USB are output from the LINE OUT
[BALANCED] and PHONES jacks.

computer by USB are output from the LINE OUT
[BALANCED] and PHONES jacks.

Buffer Size item
The driver for the unit stores the audio input and output
signals transferred to and from the computer temporarily in
a buffer.
This buffer size can be adjusted.
Smaller buffer sizes result in less audio signal delay (latency),
but require high-speed processing by the computer.
If the processing cannot keep up, for example, due to other
system operations, clicking and popping noises might occur
and the audio signal might even drop out.
Increasing the buffer size will stabilize operation and
suppress negative effects on audio signals, but the delay in
audio signals sent to the computer will increase.
You can use the slider on the panel to adjust the buffer size,
according to the use conditions.
You can adjust the buffer size used with this unit according to
your use conditions.
