25.4 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, External In and Mute

FX 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. Also putting them

beside the Main Out increases the overview within the output

section greatly.

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 de-

fined 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 ad-

justed there as well.

Mute FX. Mutes Reverb and Echo on the

Main Out, to hear the mix without those

effects.

Assign. Allows to define the Main Out,

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

Phones outs.

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.
