The Output label appearing in green indicates that this is the Selected
Output. A different Output can be selected by clicking a different
pair’s Output button. In this state, any of the Sources in the Input
Section can be routed to this output. For instance, if we have an input
signal on Analog In 3, and we wish to hear it through Analog Out
1+2, Select Analog Out 1+2 in the bottom of the Outputs Section,
then un-mute Analog In 3 in the Inputs Section. Now signals from
Analog Input 3 will be heard through Analog Output 1. If we would
like to hear the signal through Analog Outputs 1+2 both, then the Pan
Knob can be used to pan Analog In 3 to the center, or anywhere
within the stereo spectrum.
By default, Odd number inputs are panned to the left, and Even number to the right.

Numeric Level Indicator
This displays the amount of attenuation performed on the associated record source. This is
attenuation for the Monitor level of the signal; it has NO bearing on the level being recorded
through an audio application. It is applicable to Monitoring Level only (how loud that signal
source is through the output you are listening to).

Faders and Meters
The METERS on the Input section show the level strength of the signals at the
associated input. Since there is no way to attenuate the level of the signal being
recorded (except for the Trim controls, or the Trim Pots on the Aurora 16-VT),
the METER level will reflect the signal that will be recorded into audio
software. The METER will not reflect attenuation to the input signal as it is
being monitored. When you lower the fader, the METER level will not change,
however the change WOULD be reflected in the meters of the output this signal
was routed to.
The FADERS are for attenuating the signal of the input as it is being hardware
monitored. For instance, if you are routing a signal from Analog Input 5, through
Analog Output 3+4, and the input signal is too loud relative to the rest of the mix, you would
lower the fader under AIn5 to correct that. The signal level being recorded for Analog In 5
will not change, but the level through the outputs as you are monitoring the performance will
go down.
The Fader position is specific to the connection between the input and an output. So, using
the example above, if you have attenuated the signal of Analog Input 5, through Analog
Outputs 3+4, but then you select Analog Output 1+2 from the Output Pane, the fader for the
Input will return to whatever position is established for that connection.
To reiterate, the faders are for the level of a specific connection between an input and an
output. It will not effect the level of the input source monitored through an output that is not
selected, nor will it effect the level of the audio being recorded.
