Route Audio to and from Stereo Tool

In order to get access to the related audio sinks and sources you need to switch the XD3 Core type to 52-7554.

Afterwards you have access to the dedicated Audio I/Os for Stereo Tool in the I/O Overview. Use classic routing or Selectors in order to get audio in/from the Stereo Tool.

Audio Flow and Latency

Stereo Tool introduces, depending on the selected processing latency as well as the selected processing, a significant amount of audio latency. Just as any other external On Air processor does. We recommend to use it only as a bus processor.
