25.4 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 In

and Mute FX are automatically applied.

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 to 4 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.

Speaker B. Switches playback from Main Out to Main Out B.

The faders of the channels Main and Speaker B can be

ganged via Link.

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 ef-

fects.

Assign. Allows to define the Main Out, Main

Out B (Speaker B), and up to four Phones

outs. The choice is limited to AES, Phones

and MADI 1 to 16, as the higher channels

are not available at 192 kHz.

The output for the Cue signal, which is usu-

ally Main, can also be set to one of the four

Phones outputs. This setting also controls

the PFL monitoring.
