Section Control Room - RME Audio MADIface USB User Manual

21.4 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 and Talkback 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.
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.
Assign. Allows to define the Main Out, Main
Out B, and up to four Phones outs. The choice
is limited to 1 to 16, as at 192 kHz the other
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. This setting also controls the PFL
monitoring.
