Monitoring the way it should be. With no latency.
Zero Latency Monitoring is a unique feature that allows you to monitor your recording signal in real-time, without any kind of delay. You can choose between listening to the input signal, or the return path arriving via USB. For further monitoring convenience, an AUX output lets you connect a pair of headphones, enabling you to check your audio signal quickly and easily.
Zero Latency Monitoring (ZLM)
PUC2 has a special feature which allows the user to monitor its input signal directly at all of its outputs simultaneously. This bypasses the USB conversion and computer, offering very low input to output times, typically less than 5 ms, even at low sample rates. This can be turned on by closing the tip and sleeve (ground) contacts on the 3.5mm stereo ZLM switch jack on the unit.
The USB sound output of the computer is mixed into the input signal, and by default, both signals are dimmed (reduced in level) by 6dB to avoid overloading the output stages. This automatic level adjustment can be over-ridden by connecting the ring and sleeve (ground)contacts on the ZLM switch jack, or by using a mono 3.5mm jack (or dummy plug) to switch on ZLM mode.
