Output A / B / C Source
With the Output Source pages, you can decide which pairs of channels of your digital audio workstation
(DAW) will be sent to the three outputs of the MasterControl.
Each output – A, B, and C – can receive audio from the DAW's
Channels 1 and 2 (Output 1-2), Channels 3 and 4 (Output 3-/4), or
Channels 5 and 6 (Output 5-6). A channel pair can be sent to
multiple outputs at the same time or none at all, allowing you
flexibility when monitoring the audio in your DAW. By default, the assignments are:
OUTPUT A SOURCE: Output 1-2
OUTPUT B SOURCE: Output 3-4
OUTPUT C SOURCE: Output 5-6
Note: Regardless of how you assign the Output Sources, you can still monitor the physical outputs (on
the rear panel of the MasterControl) with the MasterControl's SPEAKERS / OUTPUTS buttons. You can
assign what audio is sent to these outputs in your DAW. Your headphones can always monitor any of
these channel pairs, as well, as determined by the Phones Source pages (below).
Phones 1/2 Source
Use the Phones Source pages to decide which pairs of channels
of your DAW will be sent to each HEADPHONE OUTPUT (on the
rear of the MasterControl). Like the Output Sources above, a
channel pair can be sent from the DAW to one, both, or neither of
the HEADPHONE OUTPUTS.
1-2 LEVEL knob operation
By default, this knob controls the levels for outputs 1 and 2 for any of the line outputs that are mapped to
them in the OUTPUT A / B / C Source menus.
You can change this control here to affect not only 1-2 but also 3-4. A third option, designed for 5.1
surround mixing, allows this knob to control all of the outputs (1-6) as played through the
MasterControl's six line outputs.
