27.4 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. On the unit the VOLUME knob also follows this assign-
ment.
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
O-Names in the View Options 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.
Note
: Phones 1 to 4 can be freely assigned in TotalMix FX. As
the Phones outputs on the unit are dedicated outputs with
channels 9 to 12, these channels are also fixed for operation
at the unit. So pushing the VOLUME button will step through
Main Out (free), Phones 1 (with channels 9/10) and Phones 2
(with channels 11/12), no matter which channels have been
selected for Phones in TotalMix FX.
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.
Speak. 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
effects.
Assign. Allows to define the Main Out, Main
Out B (Speaker B), and up to four Phones
outs. The choice is limited to ADAT 3/4, as
at 192 kHz the other ADAT channels are not
available anymore. The output for the Cue
signal, which is usually Main, can also be
set to one of the Phones outputs.
