Output Controls

The right hand side of the console is dedicated to the

controls for the “physical” analog and digital outputs. An

output meter pair is included for the two S/PDIF output

channels, but these levels are not adjustable. The analog

output controls are similar to those found on the virtual

output controls (Gang, Mute, Solo, & faders), except that

there are no pan controls and in there place there are

buttons that allow you to select between +4dBu

(professional) input levels or –10dBV (consumer) input

levels. Clicking on the button will toggle back and forth

between the two levels. Just like the monitor controls, the

output faders can be reset to default by pressing the

Ctrl

button and left clicking on the fader.

Adjusting Record and Playback Levels

Mia’s output volume adjustments are made in the digital domain. When you

lower a volume slider, you are actually decreasing the number of available

bits, thereby taking away from the potential dynamic range of the system.

To avoid this, we suggest that whenever possible you leave the output

sliders set to their maximum positions, and perform any necessary

attenuation on your external mixer. When the Mia playback volume controls

are set to maximum and the input signal approaches the maximum pre-

clipping level, you can achieve the full 24-bit dynamic range of the system.
