The Monitor Controller Interface
This section will walk through each control in the MC window. While the Monitor Controller window func-
tions themselves are pretty straightforward, if you have not done so already please review the menu bar
for important Monitor and Cue configuration commands and context. That sec-
tion links back to here, so it is a painless and worthwhile little detour.

Gain Control
: Yes, it‘s the volume control. Double-click on the numeric readout to enter a volume
level. MC Gain is controlled by mouse scrollwheel/trackpad gestures, and when addressing a LIO or
ULN-8, automatically syncs with the front panel monitor control of that unit. See
for details about the MC volume control and output headroom.

“-”
and

(Decrement and Increment Gain): Clicking these buttons will subtract 0.5dB from, or
add 0.5dB to the current volume level, respectively.
