Device Settings Tab Window
1. Peripheral Prex - Use this drop down menu to assign a letter prex (A-Z) to each
peripheral device displayed in the Devices Sidebar. The letter prex is included in all
graphic representations of the peripheral as well as I/O labels in Maestro and Core
Audio compatible applications.
2. OUT Muting - These check boxes determine which outputs actually mute when the
Mute function is engaged. Here are a few example settings:
When boxes are checked as shown above, it’s possible to switch between a recording
mode (headphones on, speakers off) and a playback mode (headphones off, speakers
on) with one action – engaging and disengaging Mute. As the volume control for the two
outputs is shared, it’s a good idea to check your level before unmuting speakers.
When boxes are checked as shown above, the headphone outputs are never muted;
when Mute is engaged, only the speaker outputs are muted.
3. Meters Display - This menu selects the signal to be displayed on the top panel meters;
selections are Input, Output, or Follow Selection. When Follow Selection is chosen, the
meter display follows the top panel setting indicator; thus, when either IN-1 or IN-2 is
selected, the meter displays both inputs, when OUT is selected, the meter displays the
stereo output.
4. Over Hold - When Over Hold is set to Innite, Over indications remain “on” until cleared
by the user. Overs may be cleared by clicking on the Over indicator or clicking Clear Overs
in the Maestro Mixer pane. When Over Hold is set to 2 seconds, Over indications clear
automatically after two seconds.
5. Mic/Instrument gain mode - This menu sets the input gain mode:
Max. Gain range
- The full range of gain is available, with a relay switch
occurring after the rst 10 dB of gain.
Clickless Operation
- The gain range is reduced slightly but no relays are
employed, resulting in clickless operation regardless of gain setting.
An appropriate gain range is set based on the Input and 48V settings.
