MONITOR OUTPUT MENU
Main Menu
The Main 1 menu contains the controls to set the output level of each Monitor Output, enable or disable any
adjustable parameters of each output, adjust the master gain level, adjust the left and right levels individually, solo
an individual channel, and set a high pass filter frequency for both the left and right channels.
♦
The
Volume
slider controls the output level to the speaker or headphone output.
♦
The
Bypass
control enables or disables the parametric EQ, loudness contours, and high pass filters.
♦
The
Lock
control allows you to “lock down” all of the settings, including the patch points and the shortcut
settings (such as volume controls) at the top of the user interface. When locked, the controls will appear
grayed out. This is especially useful when the “Follow” control is enabled, as it prevents the selected patch
point from being accidentally changed by someone connected via a remote client.
Note:
Imagine the surprise - not to mention confusion - this would cause the talent if, say, the Speaker
Output, which normally feeds the studio monitors with the low latency Studio output, got switched
over to the HD-2 signal! And while we
’
re on the subject, let us go on record as stating we do not
endorse the idea of deliberately confusing the talent in this manner. We
’
re just saying it could
accidentally happen
…
Officially, we strongly recommend locking down any monitor output put in
active use.
