Section Control Room - RME Audio MADIface XT User Manual

25.4 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.
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.
Speaker 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 Analog, AES, Phones and
MADI 1 to 16, as the higher channels are not
available at 192 kHz.
The output for the Cue signal, which is usually
Main, can also be set to one of the four Phones
outputs. This setting also controls the PFL
monitoring.
