HEADPHONE MONITORING MATRIX
A monitoring matrix is integrated into the Headphones Menu, which allows you to monitor any input or output channel (except MAIN OUT)
of the device. This menu can be accessed by touching the encoder when you are in the main view of the unit, which displays the
32x32 analog inputs and outputs.
In general, the two headphone outputs can be operated in "unbalanced" (dual stereo) or "balanced" mode. You can switch between the modes
in the Headphone Setup Menu. The screen above shows the "unbalanced" mode, which will probably be the most common mode.
The screens show the two headphone outputs in the color assignment of red for the left output and blue for the right output.
You can change the volume in two ways: Either by tapping one of the two virtual rotary controls and setting the desired volume value on the
encoder or by tapping, holding and moving your finger on the virtual rotary control. This also works on the other touch buttons.
If the volume control is set to the lowest level (left stop), the message "off" appears in the display.
When the volume control is set to the highest level (right stop), the message "full" appears in the display.
Pressing the headphone symbol in the upper left or right corner will mute the corresponding channel.
Please note that you can select the overall amplification factor for the headphone outputs in the Headphone Setup Menu.
On the outer screens, make the following settings:
∙
Type of interface of the channel to be monitored: analog, MADI (1/2), ADAT or DANTE*.
∙
Input or output of the source to be monitored.
∙
Channel format of the source to be monitored: mono, stereo, M/S (requires an M/S encoded signal)
∙
Channel number of the source to be monitored
For MADI sources, select MADI 1 to monitor signals from the first SFP slot, or MADI 2 for the second SFP slot.
