Patch tutorial#

Patch an audio source into at least one channel on Xerest Pola. Plug headphones into the HP jack. Toggle the Mute switch(es) to turn individual channels on or off. Toggle the Master mute switch to turn all sound off. Adjust volume of each channel and master independently.

Loudness control#

The Loud switch on the back panel acts as a 12 dB attenuator in the low position. If a louder output is required, gently push the switch to the up position (toward the arrow).
