each row of parameters to identify the hardware unit to which the row belongs. By

Each hardware unit is assigned a Peripheral Prefix which is displayed on the ID button.
2. Peripheral Prefix (Mac only) - Use this drop down menu to assign a letter prefix (A-Z)
to each peripheral device displayed in the Devices Sidebar. The letter prefix is included
in all graphic representations of the peripheral as well as I/O labels in Maestro and Core
Audio compatible applications.
3. Touchpad Assignment - Use these menus to select the parameter controlled by the
user assignable touchpads.
Mute outputs: To mute the speaker and headphone outputs, assign one of the user
assignable touchpads in Maestro to the desired mute function.
Dim outputs: The Dim function lowers the output volume by 15 dB. This function is
convenient when you want to briefly lower the playback volume in the speakers or
headphones in order to hold a conversation without completely muting the output.

stereo tracks. When it is engaged, phase errors become more noticeable.
Toggle Headphone source: Used to switch the Headphone output between Out 1-2,
Out 3-4 and Mixer. This function is especially useful for digital DJs to switch the
headphone output between the House output (sent to Out 1-2) and a cue output
(sent to Out 3-4).

software and OLED meters when Peak Hold or Over Hold (in the System Setup tab
window) is set to Infinite.

is turned.

software and front panel meters.
