Blanking the output of a group

Click the Blank button below an output device icon to blank the output of the device. The input/output patch will be removed and the output is blanked.

Setting volume levels

Output volume adjustments allow you to set an acceptable volume level for each output device. This allows you to adjust for the differences in the output device sensitivity and for variations in environment or location.

Adjusting the input volume allows you to equalize the audio levels of the various inputs so that the audio levels will not change dramatically when switching inputs.

Adjusting output volume levels

1.From the ICS100 Interface screen (figure 4-1) select Output Volume from the Controls drop-down menu, or right-click on the output device increment/ decrement buttons to the right of the output device icon on the Control Panel screen. The Set Output Volume window opens.

2.Click the increment () button or the decrement () button, or click and drag the slider, to adjust the volume of an output device.

3.To set the output volume to factory default levels, click the Reset button.

4.To mute the output volume for a specific output, click the Mute button at the bottom of the slider for that device.

5.To globally mute all output devices, click the Global Mute button at the bottom of the screen.

6.Close the Set Output Volume window.
