Alesis 12 FireWire Manual De Usuario

 

 

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.  

 

 

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. 

 

 

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. 

 

 

If  you want to monitor the signal coming in from the 2-TRACK 

jacks and from the computer (if  a Firewire cable is attached), press 

the 2TK switch.  

 

 

This is the level control for the signal returning to the mixer via 

AUX RETURN A. 

 

 

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.
