FRONT PANEL FEATURES
1. MIC/LINE / GUITAR INPUT – Connect
a microphone, line-level device or
guitar to this input with an XLR or 1/4"
TRS cable.
2. GAIN – Adjusts the input's gain level.
3. LEVEL MIC/LINE / GUITAR SWITCH
– When the switch is in the
"MIC/LINE" position, the channel will
accept mic or line-level signals. When
this switch is in the "GUITAR" position,
the channel will serve as a highimpedance input for connecting guitar
or bass instruments.
4. PHANTOM POWER SWITCH – This switch activates and deactivates phantom power for each channel
pair (Channels 1 and 2 and/or Channels 3 and 4). When activated, phantom power supplies +48V to
both XLR mic inputs. Please note that most dynamic microphones do not require phantom power, while
most condenser microphones do. Consult your microphone's documentation to find out whether it
needs phantom power.
5. VU METERS – These meters display the volume level of the channel pairs, depending on the setting of
the METER SELECTION CHANNEL SWITCH. These meters will be lit whenever EIE Pro is powered
on. The red light indicates the signal is distorting or "clipping." If the signal is regularly clipping, reduce
the volume of the mix and/or individual channels.
6. METER SELECTION CHANNEL SWITCH – This switch selects which pair of channels the left and
right VU METERS will display (respectively) – Channels 1 and 2 ("1/2") or Channels 3 and 4 ("3/4").
7. METER SELECTION MONITOR SWITCH – This switch selects whether the VU METERS will display
the volume level at the inputs ("IN") or outputs ("OUT").
8. MASTER LEVEL – Adjusts the output volume of the AUDIO OUTPUTS 1 and 2.
9. MONO / STEREO – Adjusts the master mix for mono or stereo operation.
10. HEADPHONE – Connect a set of 1/4" TRS headphones to this output.
11. HEADPHONE VOLUME – Adjusts the output volume of the PHONES output.
12. HEADPHONE SELECT SWITCH – This switch selects what channels are sent out the HEADPHONE
output – Channels 1 and 2 ("1/2"), Channels 3 and 4 ("3/4"), or all channels ("ALL").
13. MONITOR MIX – Blend in any amount of zero-latency signal from your inputs ("IN") with the output of
your computer ("OUT").

on and off.

the EIE Pro to a computer. EIE Pro
requires a USB 2.0 connection.
4. USB HUB OUTPUTS – You can connect
additional USB devices (controllers, hard drives, etc.) to these powered USB ports. In addition to being
an audio interface, these ports allow EIE Pro to function as a powered USB hub.
5. AUDIO INPUTS (INSERTS) – You can use standard 1/4" TRS insert cables to connect external
processors (such as compressors, limiters, external EQ units, etc.) to these jacks. The signal will be
taken after the channel's gain control and returned before the channel's USB audio is sent to the
computer.
6. AUDIO OUTPUTS – Use standard 1/4" TRS cables to connect these outputs to monitors, an amplifier
system, etc. The level of AUDIO OUTPUTS 1 and 2 are controlled by the MASTER LEVEL knob. The
level of AUDIO OUTPUTS 3 and 4 are always at full volume.
7. MIDI OUT – Use a standard five-pin MIDI cable to connect this output to the MIDI IN of an external
MIDI device.
