Appendix A: Studio Monitor Pro 2 101
Configuration
Enable Hardware Ports
This allows for explicitly enabling or disabling of each available I/O port from the selected ASIO hardware.
This limits the ASIO stream’s input and outputs being passed in or out of SMP, thus minimizing PCI bus traffic to only those ports
necessary for the current setup.
Once enabled, the ports become available for source & destination patching in the other tabs.
CPU Usage
This meter shows current SMP2 CPU usage (typically 1–2%).
Hardware Settings: Control Panel
This button opens the Control Panel for the selected ASIO hardware.
Save / Load Settings
Allows the user to Save and Load SMP2 configurations. All settings, including enabled/disabled HW ports, sources, I/O patching
and levels are saved and/or recalled using this feature.
Sample Rate Selector
Allows the ASIO hardware sample rate to be set directly from SMP2. The selected sample rate is also passed to connected software
applications.
Dim Level / Fixed Level
DIM
This sets the amount of attenuation (in dB) applied to any program material when the DIM switch is enabled. (DIM level is a
global setting.)
