volume louder. Please note the monitor level goes to 11 because it's one louder...
Note that if ALT SPK mode is engaged, Monitors connected to OUTPUTS 3 & 4 will also be controlled via the Monitor Level Control.
10. CUT
This button mutes the Monitor Output Signal.
11. ALT
Switches the Monitor Bus to an alternative set of monitor speakers that you have connected to OUTPUTS 3&4. To do this ALT SPK
ENABLE must be active in SSL 360°.
11. TALK
This button engages the on-board Talkback mic input. The signal can be routed to any combination of Headphones A, Headphones B
and Line 3-4 (providing Line 3-4 is not being used as ALT monitors) in the SSL 18 Mixer page of SSL 360°.
Please Note: Interface buttons annotated as 10, 11 & 12 in the description are also user-assignable using SSL 360° but they come
defaulted to the silkscreened functions (CUT, ALT, TALK) on the front panel. To re-assign, go to SSL 360° and right-click on these
buttons in the GUI - a list of assignable functions will appear.
12. HEADPHONE OUTPUTS
HP A & B allow for two sets of headphones to be connected, both of which can be configured to allow independent mixes for artist and
engineer. By default, both will follow the monitor control mix (so you can listen to music/your DAW straight-away). To make them
independent mixes (fed from HP A and HP B busses), disable the "Follow Mix 1-2" button in SSL 360°.
The master output levels are set by the HP A and HP B controls on the front panel.
SSL 360° allows you to configure the output power of HP A and HP B to best suit different headphone impedances. See the SSL 360°
SSL 18 Mixer section for more information.
14. POWER
The power button toggles power on/off to the unit.

MIDI-controllable equipment you have available.
