Connecting and Adjusting Outputs
You can toggle the monitor source between Outputs 1–2 (MAIN) and Outputs 3–4 (ALT), adjust the monitor level, and dim and
mute (Cut) the outputs using the Channel Control Encoders. The default source for S3 Outputs 1–4 (and the Headphone output if
MON to HP is selected) is Out 1–2. However, you can also assign tracks to S3 outputs independently.
You can also sum an output pair to mono and change the monitor source for the outputs.

1 Connect an audio destination such as audio monitors to Outputs 1–2 (Main) or Outputs 3–4 (Alt).
2 In your audio/video application, assign track outputs to the desired S3 hardware output(s). In the Pro Tools Output Path selector,
Out 1–2 corresponds to S3 Outputs 1–2 (MAIN), Out 3-4 corresponds to S3 Outputs 3–4 (ALT), and Outs 5–6 correspond to
the S3 Headphone output
.
