HDPH / CTRL RM
The HDPH / CTRL RM knob controls the level of the signal
being sent to the CTRL RM OUT and the PHONES output. The
level of this signal is represented by the LED meters. The switches
to the right of the HDPH / CTRL RM knob determine the source
of the control room mix as explained below. You can use these
switches in any combination. If no switches are selected, you’ll
hear silence in the control room mix and the LED meters won’t
light up.
The “CTRL RM” in the name of this knob refers to the fact that it
controls the signal that typically is sent to the control room
monitors of a studio, where someone—usually an engineer—is
working the mixer. However, don’t be intimidated if you’re using
this mixer in your bedroom, which probably isn’t equipped with a
control room. In this scenario, you can use headphones or connect
the CTRL RM OUT to your speakers.
MIX Switch
Pressing the MIX switch routes the main mix to the control room
level control. When you engage this switch, the channels and aux
sends will pass through the MAIN MIX fader and then through
the HDPH / CTRL RM level control. You can then keep the
MAIN MIX fader set to unity gain for optimal recording, and the
HDPH / CTRL RM level control set to a more comfortable
listening level if necessary.
ALT 3/4 Switch
When you press the ALT 3/4 switch, the signal from the ALT 3/4
stereo mix bus is routed through the HDPH / CTRL RM level
control.
2TK Switch
If you want to monitor the signal coming in from the 2-TRACK
jacks and from the computer (if a USB cable is attached), press the
2TK switch.
Aux Ret A Level
This is the level control for the signal returning to the mixer via
AUX RETURN A.
Effects / Aux Ret B level
If you are using one of the MultiMix’s internal effects, this knob
controls the effect level. If AUX SEND B is connected to an
external device, this knob controls the level for AUX RETURN B.
When you solo a channel via
its PFL / SOLO switch, that
channel’s signal will override
your control room mix
selection. You then will hear
only that channel in the
control room and the
headphones.
