21.4 Section Control Room
In the section Control Room the menu
Assign
is used to define the
Main Out
which is used for
listening in the studio. For this output the functions Dim, Recall, Mono, Talkback, External Input
and Mute FX are automatically applied. On the unit the button DIM also follows this assignment.
Additionally the channel will be shifted from the Hardware
Outputs into the Control Room section, and renamed
Main
.
The same happens when assigning Main Out B or the
Phones. The original name can be displayed by the function
Names
in the View Options - Show at any time.
Phones 1 and 2 will have dim (set in Settings) and a special
routing applied when Talkback is activated. Also putting them
beside the Main Out increases the overview within the output
section greatly.
Dim.
The volume will be reduced by the amount set in the
Settings dialog (F3).
Recall.
Sets the gain value defined in the Settings dialog. Can
also be set at the unit in Output mode by holding down the
SET button for two seconds.
Speaker B.
Switches audio from Main Out to Main Out B. The faders of the channels Main and
Speaker B can be ganged via Link. Via
Options / Key Commands
switching to Speaker B can
also be controlled by the unit’s
OUT, A, B
and
DIM
button.
Mono.
Mixes left and right channel. Useful to check for mono compatibility and phase problems.
Talkback.
A click on this button will dim all signals on the
Phones
outputs by an amount set up
in the Preferences dialog. At the same time the control room's microphone signal (source de-
fined in Preferences) is sent to the
Phones
. The microphone level is adjusted with the channel's
input fader.
External Input.
Switches Main monitoring from the mix bus to the stereo input defined in the
Settings dialog (F3). The relative volume of the stereo signal is adjusted there as well.
Mute FX.
Mutes Reverb and Echo on the Main Out, to hear the mix without those effects.
Assign.
Allows to define the Main Out, Main
Out B, and up to two Phones outs.
The output for the Cue signal, which is usu-
ally Main, can also be set to one of the
Phones outputs. This setting also controls
the PFL monitoring.
