MASTER VOL AND (MAIN) PHONE JACK

The phone jack labeled (MAIN) (Figure 6-1) is a
standard quarter-inch stereo headphone jack. Its
output is hard-wired to mirror the XLR main outs
on the rear panel. From the factory, the MASTER
VOL knob above it controls the main outs and this
jack, but MASTER VOL can be programmed to
control any combination of outputs. See "The
Monitor Group" on page 88 for details. Push the
knob once to view the current volume setting in the
LCD display; push it again to mute the monitor
group; push a third time to return to the previous
volume. Note that if the Monitor Group is
programmed to not include the main outs, the
MASTER VOL knob will no longer control the
volume of the phone jack, either.
