3.4 Mono & Stereo Switching

The ST MON button allows you to switch between stereo and mono output for your line outputs:

• When the button is pressed (down), the output is in MONO. This combines both input channels into a single mono signal.
• When the button is in the pop-up state (up), the output is in STEREO. Input 1 will be sent to the left channel and Input 2 to the right channel.

3.5 Recording Mode Switch

The REC button allows you to select the audio source for recording:

• When the button is in the 'MIC' position, only the microphone inputs are recorded.
• When the button is in the 'MIC+PC' position, both the microphone inputs and the audio playing from your computer are recorded simultaneously. This is useful for recording vocals over backing tracks.
