Each of the six outputs incorporate further left/right level controls and a Mono/Stereo switch providing the selection of either one stereo output or two mono outputs per channel.

The output section consists of a Channel Select so that the individual left/right output level of each channel is displayed on the output LED bargraph and can be monitored by the Headphone jack socket. A pair of auxiliary link stereo jack sockets (TRS) are provided via the rear panel for connection to further DA-6 units for the distribution of even more channels.

PreSonus has built a monitor station that allows each of the stereo inputs (TRS1, TRS2, aux) to be routed to one of two audio paths, "main" and "cue". The Monitor Station allows you to route two separate signals (Main and Cue) to each of the four headphone amplifiers.

The Mackie provides visual and tactile controls for enhanced mixing and editing capabilities - allowing the user to mix via a real control surface rather than a mouse and/or a uni-directional faderpack. HUI users gain access to simultaneous multiple control points (faders, sends, mutes, group control, plug-ins, etc.) during tracking and mixdown. Features include:

Eight 100mm true professional grade, touch update, readily re-assignable, motor faders. The quick reactive, conductive metalized fader knobs respond immediately to touch control without separate switch enabling or disabling. The motor fader design utilizes a high resolution, tightly tuned servo amplifier to reduce annoying fader chatter, and the conductive plastic fader servo track (greater than mega-cycle average mean time between failure) greatly extends fader lifetime.

The GT6 is one of Coleman Audio's featured switchers.You can select any one of 6 inputs and route it to any combination of four independent outputs.
