11 A, B, and C buttons — These three buttons illuminate A, B, and C. When PRE (4) is activated, use these
buttons to change the settings for the two Mic/Inst inputs. When the Pre button is not activated, the
A,
B, and C buttons are used to select configured DADman monitor profiles. The function of these can be
configured access any available monitor function, such as input source selection, speaker set selection,
folddown, and so on. These buttons are also layered using the
Select button (15) along with the Level
control encoder (13), and the level and channel indicators (12).
12 Level and Channel indicators — When PRE (4) is activated, the Level meter shows the input gain levels
for the selected Mic/Line input and the Channel indicators show which channel is selected for editing (1
or 2, or both). Otherwise, these show the output level for the selected Monitor/Cue source, and which
source is selected (defined in DADman).
13 Encoder — When PRE (4) is activated, turning the encoder adjusts the input gain level for the selected
Mic/Line input. Otherwise, turning the encoder adjusts the monitor level for the selected Monitor/Cue
source. The encoder can also be assigned to various functions in DADman when turned or pushed. For
example, you can assign the encoder to mute and unmute the selected monitor path when pushed.
14 Select button — Use for selecting channels or layers. Selections are indicated by the channel indicator
(12). When the MTRX Studio is connected to a monitor profile in DADman these 3 keys are controlling
DADman and the function is defined in DADman. The default functionality is that the
Speaker button
(15) selects the control room (CR) as focus for the level control encoder, and the
A, B, and C buttons (11)
and the
Headphone button (17) selects the monitors/cues as focus. Using the Select button (14), 4 dif-
ferent layers can be selected according to the configuration of the monitor profile in DADman.
15 Speaker button — Selects the control room (CR) as focus for the level control encoder (13) and meter
(12).
16 Headphone button — selects the monitors/cues as focus for the level control encoder (13) and meter
(12).
17 Headphone outputs 1 and 2 (stereo 1/4-inch).
