Selected Output Indicators
Directly to the right of each input meter (and underneath each fader cap) are the selected output indicators.
These vary by color for clear indication of which output type is currently selected.
The output type will be discussed in greater detail in the master fader section, starting on page 46.
There is no way you would ever see the image as shown below. It is just a point of reference.
