WDM console – all products

The two buttons labeled “+4” are the nominal level select buttons. Since they both

read “+4,” this indicates these outputs are sending a +4 dBu (professional level)

signal. To send a –10 dBV (consumer level) signal, click the button. This feature

allows you to connect either professional or consumer gear to each output. Mona

does not include “nominal level buttons” here. This is because the Mona’s RCA

connectors only output a +4 dBu (professional level) signal, and the XLR

connectors only output a –10 dBV (consumer level) signal.

The mute buttons and faders affect everything being mixed to this bus. Thus,

pulling the fader down will make both the input monitors and playback quieter.

Holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on a fader will set that fader to 0 dB, and

clicking on the readout below the fader will allow you to enter a numerical value

for the fader setting.

The gang button, marked with a “G,” sets the gang mode. If you are in gang

mode, the mute buttons and nominal level buttons will work together; for example,

clicking the mute on one channel activates the mute button on the other channel.

Also, ganging the faders ties them together so they will maintain their relative

placement with regard to each other. Holding down the Shift key reverses the

state of the gang button; that is, if the gang button is down, holding down shift

puts you in non-ganged mode and vice versa.

Analog Inputs

The controls for the analog inputs are outlined in red and have the label “Analog

in” at the bottom. There is one strip, or input monitor, corresponding to each of

Layla24’s eight physical analog inputs. The controls affect the audio going to the

currently selected output bus; in this case it is outputs Analog 1 and 2.

The topmost control is a button labeled “+4”; this button allows you to select the

nominal level for this analog input. Since the button currently reads “+4,” it is

ready to accept a +4 dB signal. Click the button to change this input to –10 mode.

This button will affect the level of what you record as well as the monitor level.

Mona does not include the “nominal level” buttons here either; this is because

Mona’s input level is controlled on its audio interface box.

Below the “nominal level” button is the peak meter for this channel, labeled in

decibels. Under the peak meter is the monitor pan slider; this pans the input

channel between the two channels of the output bus. Holding down the Ctrl key

and clicking on a pan slider will set the slider to the center position. Note that this

does not affect your recording. Below the pan slider is the monitor mute. This

controls whether or not you want this input channel to be mixed directly out to the

currently selected output bus. Again, this does not affect recording. This is

followed by the monitor fader, and it controls the input monitor level. Like the
