Direct outs can be used to send audio out of a channel direct to a destination. This is useful when sending audio to a broadcast console or M-48 personal mixers.

Note: In order for input channel's mute buttons to not mute the assigned direct outs, this will need to be disengaged in the system settings:

1. Be sure that an iPad is not connected wired or wirelessly to the M-200i.
2. In the top panel’s DISPLAY section, press [SETUP].
3. At the SETUP screen, select “SYSTEM“ and press [ENTER].
4. Select "CH-MUTE OPTION" and press [ENTER].
5. Select "Mutes DIRECT OUTS" and set this to OFF.
6. Press EXIT to return to the main screen.

ASSIGNING DIRECT OUTS

1. In the top panel’s DISPLAY section, press [SETUP].
2. Select "PATCHBAY" and then press [ENTER].
3. Select “OUTPUT PATCHBAY“ and press [ENTER].
4. Select the desired output and press [ENTER].
5. Cursor down past the AUX and MTX until the input channels appear (e.g. CH:1, CH:2, etc). These are the DIRECT OUTs for those input channels.
6. Press [ENTER] to select a desired input channel's DIRECT OUT.
7. Press [EXIT] and repeat these steps for additional input channels.

ASSIGNING DIRECT OUTS POINTS

1. In the LAYER section, press [CH1-16] or [CH17-32] to assign the input channels to the fader module section.

4. Press [FUNC] to access the CHANNEL FUNCTION screen.
5. Move the cursor to “DIRECT OUT POINT“ and press [ENTER].
6. Select the position from which the channel’s signal is sent as the direct out signal, then press [ENTER].
   - TOP OF CHANNEL - Take the raw signal immediately out of the preamp.
