Changing Sub-standalone Modes
Once you are in standalone mode you can tell
which of the three sub-standalone modes the
Mbox Pro is in and change them using the Speaker
source select switch (pushing the Speaker button
cycles through them all).
The button displays the following colors for each
mode:
• Green in AD/DA Converter Mode
• Red in Preamp mode
• Amber in Mixer mode
Output Setup
You can configure stereo and surround monitoring
and output settings in Output Setup.
Stereo Monitor Configuration
You can assign up to three Monitor output pairs to
function as control room monitor pairs. Pressing
front-panel Speaker button cycles through the con-
trol room output pairs. This is useful for A/B-ing
your mix between different studio monitors.
Surround Monitor Configuration
You can choose which Monitor output pairs are
controlled by Mbox Pro’s Master Volume knob.
For example, if you enable
Master Volume for all
three Monitor output pairs, then the Master Vol-
ume controls all of them at once. This is useful if
you are mixing in surround.
The Output Setup options are grouped in the fol-
lowing categories:
