6. A/B Select Switch
This switch determines which pair of control room
outputs is currently active. Only one pair of control
room outputs provides an output signal at any one time.
This allows you to have two sets of monitors connected
to the Onyx Satellite so you can make quick A/B com-
parisons between them to make sure your mix sounds
good on both pairs of monitor speakers.
7. 1-/1-6 Select Switch
When this switch is up (1-2), the CONTROL ROOM
LEVEL control [24] adjusts the level at the CR OUTS
(1-2) on the rear panel of the base station. When the
switch is down (1-6), the CONTROL ROOM LEVEL
control adjusts the level at all six outputs. This is useful
when mixing in surround sound to provide a master
level control for all the surround stems.
Note:
When the select switch is up (1-2), outputs 3-6 are
not adjustable from the Onyx Satellite, but remain fixed.
This is useful for:
Dialing up some alternate headphone mixes with
aux sends from the DAW, and then sending them to
the line-level inputs of a headphone amplifier
Sending a recorded track to an outboard analog pro
-
cessor, like a compressor or EQ
Transferring a mix to an analog recorder for flavor
(like an old reel-to-reel recorder!)
8. Power Switch
This switch turns the power on and off to the Onyx
Satellite. When the power switch is on and power is sup-
plied to the Onxy Satellite, either through the FireWire
connector or the DC power supply, the POWER LED [4]
on the pod lights up.
9. Base Station Dock
The pod plugs into the base station here. Align the
“TO DOCK” [12] connector on the pod with the connec-
tor in the base station dock and push firmly to insure a
secure connection.
