How to set the Monitor Outputs as a fixed Line-Out
This setting changes the Monitor Outputs from a variable volume controlled by the Output Controller knob to a
fixed output at the full +4dBu or -10dBV reference level. This setting is convenient for connecting Ensemble to
an external monitor control device such as a mixer or control center.
1. Open Maestro and click the
“Output” tab
(or use the keyboard
combination [⌘+2]).
2. In the Speaker Output section click the Speaker Output drop-down
box and select “Line”.
Note: This disable’s Ensemble’s Monitor Output level control.
How to Setup and Use Multiple Speaker Sets
It is possible to connect up to three pairs of speaker monitors and toggle between them. This is very useful to
check how a mix sounds through different speakers and systems.
1. Connect the first pair of speakers to Monitor Out 1/2, the second pair to Line Out 3/4, and if desired a third
pair to Line Out 5/6.
2. Open Maestro and click the
Output tab (or use the keyboard
combination [⌘+2]).
3. From the Speaker Output Select
drop-down box, select “2
Speaker Sets” or “3 Speaker
Sets”.
4. Click the Speaker Set 1, 2, or 3
button to select which speaker
set is active.
Note: To activate multiple speaker sets simultaneously, hold down [command ⌘] and select another speaker
set button.
