Control Room Section

The Control Room section is where you define the source for monitoring in your control room. Typi- cally, you would use the Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 outputs on the Mix Card for control room monitor- ing, giving you the choice of near-field and far-field monitoring through the two stereo line-level speaker outputs. This is configured in the I/O Configura- tion window (Windows > I/O Configuration).

Press the SETUP button [32] in the Control Room section to open the Control Room Setup window.

•Select the output destination for the surround sound stems. When you are mixing in surround sound, you assign the eight bus outputs to the I/O cards in this window.

•Select the input source for control room moni- toring. There are four buttons labeled 1, 2, Surround, and L-R. These correspond to the buttons on the console labeled 1, 2, SUR, and L- R [33]. The Custom Input Assigns 1 and 2 drop- down boxes are used to select virtually any input source for the left and right control room outputs. Select Surround to have your surround sound stems pass through the Control Room section. This allows you to have individual gain controls for each stem (at the bottom of the Control Room Setup window, using the console V-Pots), and activate the surround calibration, which sends pink noise to each surround output to verify that each speaker is set to the same relative volume.

Phones Section

The Phones section [38] allows you to select the

 

input source for the headphone outputs (Phones 1 and

 

2). Typically, you would select the C/R (Control Room)

 

button for the headphone source, but you can have

 

two custom sources configured in the Phones Setup

Manual

window. Press the SETUP button in the Phones 1 or

 

Phones 2 section to open the Phones Setup window.

 

• Click Copy Mix To Cue 1 or 2 to copy all the

 

channel fader settings to Cue Mix 1 (Aux 9-10)

 

or Cue Mix 2 (Aux 11-12). This is a quick way

 

to copy the Master L-R mix, including effects,

 

to the phones output.

 

• Click the Input Assign drop-down boxes to

 

select two custom input sources for each head-

 

phone output.

 

• Adjust the headphone listening level with the

 

knobs [39] in the Phones 1 and Phones 2 sections.

 

Talkback Section

 

The Talkback section allows you to communicate

 

from the console to someone listening over the head-

 

phones. Press the SETUP button [40] in the Talk-

 

back section to open the TALKBACK SETUP window.

 

•Select the source for the talkback function by clicking the Source drop-down box. This can be either the built-in talkback mic in the Talk- back section, or a microphone connected to an input card.
