In th
e Front Panel (Figure 2.1), ERGO features:
• 3 Status LEDs (Clip, IO/FireWire and Calibrate)
• 3 Buttons (A, B/Sub and Focus/Global)
• 1 Volume knob
So lets read their description;

Thi
s LED illuminates when the incoming audio signal is 3dB from
full-scale input, indicating a likely clip condition. This is used
during the calibration process and when the incoming main
output signal is inserted into the Input (Line In) jacks on the back
of ERGO. This is also used when using ERGO as a FireWire
recording interface to indicate excessive signal coming in from
the line-level device (mixer, keyboard, etc).

This bi-
color LED illuminates red when power is applied, and
green when a valid FireWire connection is detected.
CCaalliibbrraattee
The Cal
ibrate LED illuminates when the Calibrate button is
pressed on the back of the ERGO unit. While in Calibrate mode,
the Line In signals are no longer active and the MIC input is
active.

AA
When applying o
ne input, use the A input and press the button
to enable. When the button is unlit, there is no audio passing
through.
BB//SSuubb
When connect
ing a second input, and you want to hear both A
and B speakers, press B/Sub to enable this function.
NNoottee
Th
e software control panel selects the speaker mode. In default
(non-Subwoofer) mode, only the A or B speaker can be selected. ERGO
is smart enough to make the A/B buttons mutually exclusive. Using
ERGO, it is possible to set ERGO up in Subwoofer mode. In
Subwoofer mode, ERGO makes the A/B buttons independent, so that
you can mute or enable the sub in
conjunction with the A speakers.
