Control Room/Phones/Meters

CONTROL ROOM OUTPUTS

The 1/4" TRS stereo control room outputs can be used to run a separate sound system in a control room or a different zone. Connect these outputs to the line-level inputs of an amplifier running passive studio monitors, or to the inputs of powered studio monitors.

The headphones play the same program material as the control room. The meters show the levels prior to the control room and phones level controls.

CONTROL ROOM/PHONES SOURCE

The source that plays in the control room, headphones, and meters is selected using the switches in the control room/phones source matrix:

•Main mix

•Tape

•Alt 3-4

•FW 1-2: The stereo FireWire 1-2 output from your computer

•A combination of all four above

If you do not select one of these, there will be no sound in the control room or phones, and no indication on the meters (unless a solo button is engaged).

Assign to Main Mix

Except for the main mix, whatever is selected as a source for your control room and phones can also be routed to the main mix by pressing this switch. The main mix does not play in the control room or phones if this switch is engaged.

SOLO

Whenever solo is engaged, all control room/ headphone source selections (main mix, alt 3-4, tape, and FireWire) are defeated, and you will only hear the soloed channel(s) in the headphones and control room. This gives you the opportunity to audition the channels before they are added to the main mix or alt 3-4 mix. The main mix continues to play, so the show can still go on during solo.

When a channel is soled, you can adjust the channel gain until your input source reaches the 0 dB LED in the right meter.

Solo signals reaching the headphones and control room are not affected by the channel level or main level, therefore turn down the phones level and control room level first, as soloed channels may be loud.

Main Mix

Select main mix to listen to the main mix in the control room or headphones. The meters show the level after the main mix fader.
