Operating the C•control
12
Using the Headphone Amplifier
The C control includes an internal headphone amplifier for monitoring the mix and/or any of the
assigned two-track inputs.
WARNING: Because the C control is capable of generating high volume levels, always start with the
HEADPHONE VOLUME knob at minimum and then slowly turn it up until you reach a comfortable lis-
tening level.
Headphone Volume
The HEADPHONE VOLUME control is used to adjust the level of the head-
phones connected to the front panel HEADPHONE jack. The signal feeding
the headphone is picked up before the MUTE switch, therefore it is possible to
listen to the headphones while the connected monitors are off.
Headphone Jack
The C control’s HEADPHONE output accepts standard 1/4-inch, stereo TRS
(Tip/ Ring/ Sleeve) phone plugs for connecting headphones. You can connect
any standard headphone from 8 through 240 Ohms.
Control Room Section
Volume
The C control’s VOLUME knob is the master control for the Control Room level. Use the VOLUME knob
to adjust the overall level of all the SPEAKER outputs.
Speaker B Volume
The SPEAKER B volume control is used to adjust the level of the
SPEAKER B output and works in conjunction with the Control
Room VOLUME knob. This means if the Control Room Volume is
set all the way off (fully counter clockwise), there will be no output
on Speaker B, regardless of the level set on the SPEAKER B con-
trol knob. Use the SPEAKER B control knob to adjust the balance
between the monitors connected to the SPEAKER A outputs and the monitors connected to SPEAKER
B outputs.
To set the balance between the monitors connected to the SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B outputs, first
turn the Control Room VOLUME to a low level and set the SPEAKER B level all the way off (fully
counter clockwise). Be sure that the SPEAKER B output is active by engaging the SPEAKER B switch
(the green LED will illuminate). Now, press the SPEAKER A switch on and off while adjusting the
SPEAKER B Volume Control, matching the level of the two sets of monitors. Once you have matched
the balance, use the Control Room VOLUME knob to adjust the overall level of either set of monitors.
