9.Master Volume ( ) - This knob controls the analog output levels of ProFire 610. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the output level while turning it counterclockwise will reduce the output level.

By default, this knob is assigned to control analog outputs 1/2, however, the Control Panel application provides the option of setting the Master Volume knob to control any combination of analog output pairs (i.e., 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8). This includes the ability to control the level of all eight analog outputs simultaneously. This feature has been implemented to facilitate many kinds of stereo and surround mixing scenarios.

See the Control Panel section of this User Guide for more information about how to configure and use the Master Volume knob.

NOTE: If this knob is assigned to control analog output pairs 1/2 or 3/4, it will also affect the level of the first and second headphone outputs, respectively. The section “Connecting the Analog Outputs” includes a tip on how to configure the interface to give you three separate volume control knobs (i.e., one knob for each headphone output and the Master Volume knob to control your speakers). See page 10 of this guide for more information about this topic.

!WARNING: Unchecking one of the Master Volume Knob boxes allows its corresponding outputs to play at full volume (i.e., without any attenuation). This may result in very loud signals being sent to your speakers, headphone amplifiers, or other equipment. Be mindful of your outgoing levels anytime you uncheck one of these boxes to avoid potentially damaging your equipment (or hearing). If you wish to leave these boxes unchecked in order to allow full, unattenuated signals to play through the interface, it is strongly recommended that you have an external provision for controlling your levels (such as a an external mixer).
