User Manual

By default, the audio sent to the MAIN output will also be sent to the headphone output as

well. This makes it much easier to use TA2 because you can leave headphones and com-

puter speakers connected simultaneously and never have to make any changes to the oper-

ating system's audio settings to use either of them. This is because the Cue Mix encoder is

set so that the Headphone output monitors the Main signal by default. You can therefore

adjust the volume of the computer speakers using the volume control on the speakers

themselves. Then, adjust the headphone volume independently with the Headphones Vol-

ume Encoder on the TA2.
