- Monitoring – One-to-one monitoring. Independently level-match your 4×4 selected sources, then globally control with the master-volume.
- Scenes – Device-wide settings recall. Save custom scenes for different tasks and switch through them in a click.
- Settings – No need for extra computer software, change any setting directly on Hilo, such as sample rate, clock source or trims.
