VxD console – Gina24 and Layla24

Remember that all of the monitor controls remain in effect even when they’re not

displayed. The degree of attenuation (or muting) of each level is set by the monitor

controls. The console program constantly maintains a level setting for each of the

monitor paths it controls. Clicking on an output selection button simply selects the

settings that are displayed.

Output Controls

The right hand side of the console is dedicated to the controls for

analog output channels one through eight (an output meter pair is

included for the two S/PDIF output channels, but these levels are

not adjustable). The output controls mirror those found on the

monitor controls (Gang, Mute, Solo, & faders) with a few

exceptions. Instead of pan controls you have nominal level

switches that switch between professional (+4 dBu) and consumer

(–10 dBV) levels. This allows you to connect either professional

or consumer gear to each output. You will also find level meters in

the middle area instead of the numbered buttons. Just like the

monitor controls, the output faders can be reset to default by

pressing the Ctrl button and left clicking on the fader.

Adjusting Monitor and Playback Levels

Output volume adjustments are made in the digital domain. When you lower a

volume fader below 0dB, you are actually decreasing the number of available bits,

thereby taking away from the potential dynamic range of the system. Therefore,

we suggest that whenever possible you leave the output faders set to 0dB, and

perform any necessary attenuation on your external mixer. When the playback

volume controls are set to 0dB and the input signal approaches the maximum pre-

clipping level, you can achieve the full 24-bit dynamic range of the system.
