Studio Monitor Express

12

Windows Config Tab

The 

Config

 tab on Windows lets you set levels for 

Dim 

and

 Fixed

 outputs, lets you enable  hardware inputs and outputs that patch 

to sources and destinations, and displays diagnostic information. 

Set Dim Level

This sets the attenuation amount (in dB) for the program signal when using the talkback function.

Set Fixed Level

This sets the fixed output level, which is selectable in the 

Main

 tab for the 

Control Room

 output. This is useful for setups that have 

been calibrated to a specific reference level and must maintain a fixed output level.

CPU Usage

This meter shows SME CPU usage.

Sample Rate

This shows the current sample rate to which SME is locked. This is only an indicator since the sample rate is determined by your 
sound card’s settings.

Settings

This enables saving the current settings or loading previous settings, to quickly switch between different SME configurations.

Enable Hardware Ports

This lets you explicitly enable or disable each SME port. This limits the ASIO stream inputs and outputs monitored by SME, thus 
minimizing traffic on the audio bus to only those ports necessary for the current setup. Only ports enabled here are available for 
routing on the other SME tabs (such as 

Main

 and 

Sources

).
