Speck Electronics Xtramix - Manual (Page 34)

This pot acts as the master volume to the stereo program feed. It should
be pointed out that the Left/Right program meters follow this master
control, hence any adjustment to the Program Master Control is
displayed at the program meters. A typical starting point for the
Program Master Control is the three o'clock position. This setting
should make it reasonably easy to achieve a 0 VU reading when using
multiple synth and sampler patches without having to rely on excessive
input level (see input channel) adjustments. If, however, a 0 VU reading
is desired when using only one source (a single synth), it is perfectly
acceptable to set the Program Master Control higher than the three
o'clock position to obtain the necessary output.
The operation of the Program Master Control does not affect the
operation of the Monitor level or Headphone level. If required, the
Xtramix may be configured so the source of the Monitor and Headphone
is post (after) the Program Master Level Control.
This controls overall level to the stereo monitor feed and operates
independent of the Program Master and Headphone Master. Typically,
the monitor outputs would be connected to a stereo power amplifier for
purposes of driving a personal monitoring system. However, in
situations where the Xtramix is interfaced to, for instance, a large frame
recording console and solo capability is desired, then it is completely
acceptable to utilize the solo capable monitor outputs for this purpose.
The integrity of this signal is virtually equivalent to that of the program
outputs.
In so far as metering the monitor output is concerned (the program
meters follow only the program); as long as the monitor and program
levels, given the same physical adjustment (2, 3, 4 o'clock, etc.), will be
equal. Establishing the monitor output level is simply a matter of
matching the Program and Monitor Master Controls.
This switch Mutes (Kills) the master monitor output without affecting
the Program and Headphone outputs. When depressed, the LED directly
below will illuminate, indicating the monitor signal has been Muted.
This dual potentiometer controls the volume of the stereo headphone
circuit. The operation of the Headphone Master Control does not affect
the operation of the program level or monitor level.
