ARC System 2
5.3 Monitor Control Window
To provide an easier, more “control room-style” monitoring system, you can
use the “Monitor Window” (figure 5.25) which gives you a few key controls
clearly arranged and instantly within reach.

5.3.1 Main volume knob
This control acts as the master volume of your listening environment (figure
5.26). It works on both uncorrected and corrected audio, so it can be effec-
tively used as the overall output level in your control room or also to avoid
clipping which might occur with particularly hot program material. By care-
fully adjusting this Master Volume control and the Trim Knob (see paragraph
5.1.7), you can get a perfect balance and consistency of levels between cor-
rected and uncorrected audio.
5.3.2 Dim switch
Use this switch to instantly lower the listening level by a set amout of deci-
bels (figure 5.27). Adjust the range of the dim using the Level control which
goes from 0 (no attenuation) down to -40dB.
5.3.3 Mute switch
Use this switch to cut the sound going to your speakers (figure 5.28).
