I only ever used it to share two mic signals with another sound
engineer during a live recording. And that's why what I wrote is
not entirely correct. 

You can control monitoring of the 4 analog inputs and the
first two ADAT inputs to the 4 analog outputs and the first
two ADAT outputs.

BUT THERE IS NO PANNING AT ALL. Odd numbered inputs can go
to odd numbered outputs only, same for even numbered. 
No problem in my use case, actually just what I needed,
so I didn't notice then.

I got confused by reading the manual, which says:

  "Use SELECT to choose between left, right or both channels."

which I interpreted as L,C,R. Actually this selects which
of a pair of *inputs* are controlled.

But if you want pure quality, it's a great interface.
