Configure audio ports for stereo or mono

Using the Admin panel, you can configure ports to function as a stereo pair (left/right) or as separate mono ports.

Pearl Nano

The two XLR professional line-level inputs are configured as a stereo pair by default: XLR 1 (left) and XLR 2 (right).

Configure audio ports as stereo or mono using the Admin panel

  1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel.
  1. Open the configuration page from the Inputs menu:
    • Pearl Nano: click XLR/RCA Audio. The XLR/RCA Audio configuration page opens.
  2. Do one of the following.
    1. To make the ports function as a stereo pair, check Stereo pair and click Apply.
    2. To make the ports function as separate mono ports, uncheck Stereo pair and click Apply.

When mono is selected, two sets of parameters and two audio VU meters appear in the interface - one for each audio input port on the Pearl device. Parameters that are listed only once apply to both ports.
