Monitor Mixer Page

The Monitor Mixer is the first page that appears when the Delta Control Panel is
opened, and controls the digital mixer built into the Audiophile 2496's PCI controller
chip. As described in previous sections, the output of this mixer may be assigned to
the OUT1/OUT2 analog outputs and/or the S/PDIF Out digital output. At the same
time, the mixer outputs may be recorded in stereo by software.
The Monitor Mixer Page is essentially a collection of volume level faders, audio
level (or 'peak') meters, and solo/mute controls. For each mixer output and input
channel there is one of each: a volume fader, a peak meter, a solo control, and a mute
control.
LEVEL FADERS: Each volume fader may be controlled by dragging its fader
'handle' vertically with the mouse, or by clicking on the 'handle' to make it active
and then adjusting it with the up/down cursor keys of your computer keyboard.
Because the mixer has no gain, these faders only attenuate (reduce) the signal levels.
The highest setting is 0dB, or 'Unity Gain.' The default fader setting is the quietest
setting, –144dB, which essentially mutes the audio. A pair of level faders may be
"ganged" so that both channels may be adjusted together as a stereo pair.
Also, at the top of each fader and meter is a fader level "fine adjustment" control.
Clicking on the small "up" and "down" arrows will adjust the corresponding fader
setting in 0.5dB increments. Next to each fine adjustment control is a numerical
fader readout that is always current and active.
