25.4 Section Control Room 
In the section Control Room the menu Assign is used to define the Main Out which is used for 
listening in the studio. For this output the functions Dim, Recall, Mono, Talkback, External In 
and Mute FX are automatically applied. 
Additionally the channel will be shifted from the Hardware 
Outputs into the Control Room section, and renamed Main. 
The same happens when assigning Main Out B or the 
Phones. The original name can be displayed by the function 
Names in the View Options - Show at any time. 
Phones 1 to 4 will have Dim (set in Settings) and a special 
routing applied when Talkback is activated. Also putting them 
beside the Main Out increases the overview within the output 
section greatly. 
Dim. The volume will be reduced by the amount set in the 
Settings dialog (F3). 
Recall. Sets the gain value defined in the Settings dialog. 
Speaker B. Switches playback from Main Out to Main Out B. 
The faders of the channels Main and Speaker B can be 
ganged via Link. 
Mono. Mixes left and right channel. Useful to check for mono compatibility and phase problems. 
Talkback. A click on this button will dim all signals on the Phones outputs by an amount set up 
in the Preferences dialog. At the same time the control room's microphone signal (source de-
fined in Preferences) is sent to the Phones. The microphone level is adjusted with the channel's 
input fader. 
External Input. Switches Main monitoring from the mix bus to the stereo input defined in the 
Settings dialog (F3). The relative volume of the stereo signal is adjusted there as well. 
Mute FX. Mutes Reverb and Echo on the 
Main Out, to hear the mix without those ef-
fects. 
Assign. Allows to define the Main Out, Main 
Out B (Speaker B), and up to four Phones 
outs. The choice is limited to AES, Phones 
and MADI 1 to 16, as the higher channels 
are not available at 192 kHz. 
The output for the Cue signal, which is usu-
ally Main, can also be set to one of the four 
Phones outputs. This setting also controls 
the PFL monitoring.
