Monitor mute/Dim Switch on Ultralite

Post by mesayre »

I have been using a recently-acquired Ultralite AVB, and so far I'm loving it.

One thing I would like, though, is the ability to quickly turn off my monitors (for instance, to check my mix on headphones, or not have to listen at full blast when I'm not working on music). I can turn down the volume knob, but that's a pain, and it seems like there ought to be a way to switch them on and off quickly.

When I have the mixer open in my browser, it's fairly straightforward, but I'd like a way to do it with a command that doesn't require that, or even by somehow configuring a button the device to do it.

Have I just missed something obvious? Or would I need to cook up a solution over OSC or something?

I am a big fan of a hardware monitor controller... everything monitoring-related at your immediate fingertips. I use a Presonus Monitor Station. I have the V1, and it has been very solid (great headphone amps!), and the V2 looks even nicer:
