Main monitor uses the Monitor L–R outputs on the back panel.
Alt 1 (LINE 1–2)

Headphone Sources
The Headphone Sources section lets you select the source for each of the four headphone outputs on the front panel of
Pro Tools | Carbon.
MON L–R
When this option is selected, the corresponding headphone output mirrors the signal of the currently selected Monitor
set. If no Monitor set is enabled, the headphone output mirrors the signal of the MON L–R outputs on the back panel.
HP 1–4
When a source is set to a headphone output (HP 1–4), any Pro Tools track (or other Core Audio software audio channel)
that is routed to that Headphone output passes audio to that Headphone output.
