7.4 Section Control Room

In the section Control Room the menu Assign defines the Main Out which is used for listening

in the studio. For this output the functions Dim, Recall, Mono, Talkback and External In are

automatically applied.

Additionally the channel will be shifted from the Hardware

Outputs into the Control Room section, and renamed Main.

The same happens when assigning Main Out B or the

Phones. The original name can be displayed by the function

Names in the View Options at any time.

Phones 1 to 4 will have dim (set in Settings) and a special

routing applied when Talkback is activated. Putting them

beside the Main Out increases the overview within the output

section greatly.

Note

: The Phones connector of Multiface and Digiface is an

additional mixer output not connected to any WDM or ASIO

channel. Use the Cue function to monitor any output directly,

or to activate ADM with the phones output.

Dim. The volume will be reduced by the amount set in the

Settings dialog (F3).

Recall. Sets the gain value defined in the Settings dialog.

Speaker B. Switches playback from Main Out to Main Out B. The faders of the channels Main

and Speaker B can be ganged via Link.

Mono. Mixes left and right channel. Useful to check for mono compatibility and phase problems.

Talkback. A click on this button will dim all signals on the Phones outputs by an amount set up

in the Preferences dialog. At the same time the control room's microphone signal (source

defined in Preferences) is sent to the Phones. The microphone level is adjusted with the

channel's input fader.

External Input. Switches Main monitoring from the mix bus to the stereo input defined in the

Settings dialog (F3). The relative volume of the stereo signal is adjusted there as well.

Assign. Allows to define the Main Out, Main

Out B (Speaker B), and up to four Phones

outs. The choice is limited, as at 96 or 192

kHz operation some channels like ADAT are

not available anymore.

The output for the Cue signal, which is

usually Main, can also be set to one of the

Phones outputs. This setting also controls

the PFL monitoring. The Cue/PFL

monitoring is also set up in this dialog.
