Monitor Section - Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 User Manual

Monitor section

The output levels of the monitor outputs and headphone outputs are configured in the Monitor Section. Scarlett 18i6 can be set up so
that the audio sent to the line outputs are controlled by the software volume dial; independent of the software volume dial; or muted.
Monitor control enable buttons
The monitor control enable buttons indicate which outputs are controlled by the monitor section on the GUI directly below the
four buttons. The Scarlett 18i6 can be set up so that there is control of monitor speaker and headphone volume levels together or
independently
(All digital output levels are unaffected by the monitor section in Scarlett MixControl. The output levels set up in the DAW are used to
control digital output levels).
Each button can be set to one of three possible states:
Blue - this output is controlled by the below monitor section
Red - this output is not controlled by the below monitor section and it is muted
Grey - this output is not controlled by the below monitor section and it is at full level.
To set a button to its grey state, SHIFT + Click the button
WARNING: When a monitor control button is set to 'Grey', the signal routed to that output will be played back at full level.
This may potentially result in a very loud signal being sent to your monitor speakers, headphones or other equipment.
Therefore is is important to be cautious when setting levels (in the DAW or the Scarlett MixControl Mixer) before setting the monitor
button to Grey.
