Settings & Routing

The default iD2+ settings are suitable for initial recording and monitoring. Open Settings to adjust monitor behaviour, Talkback, digital I/O or device options; use Routing when you need a different source to feed a physical output.

Use Monitor Settings to set the Dim Amount, Reference Level, Volume Recall, Talkback source, Mono Mode and FN assignment.

Use Device Settings for Digital Mode, Clock Source and Preamp Trim. Global Mute also has a scope setting: choose Speaker Outputs to mute speakers only, or All Outputs to mute both speakers and headphones.

Talkback Settings

Talkback uses an input from the connected iD2+.

Choose the iD2+ input channel you want to use as the Talkback source.

A Talkback icon appears at the top of the selected input's Mixer channel strip, identifying the input assigned to Talkback.

By default, no Talkback source is selected.

Function Button Settings

Choose the FN assignment you want the hardware button to control: Mono, M/S Mode, Reference Level or Monitor Correction On/Off.

The active FN assignment is displayed in the Monitor Panel and can be changed in FN settings.

Routing

Open Routing when you need to send a particular mix or computer-playback source to a physical output. The output destinations are shown as stereo pairs by default; switch to Mono view to assign the left and right channels separately.

Choose from Main Mix, the Independent Mixes or Virtual Thru channels. Main Mix appears as separate Main and ALT routing sources, both fed from the same Main Monitor Mix.

The analogue destinations are Main Outputs 1–2, ALT Outputs 3–4 and HP1, which uses output channels 5–6 in the default routing.

For normal use, no routing changes are needed: Main feeds Outputs 1–2, ALT feeds Outputs 3–4 and Main Mix feeds HP1 by default.

Use Virtual Thru when you want a stereo computer signal to reach an output directly without passing through the iD Control Mixer.

Assigning a Virtual Thru source to an output displays a warning that the signal could be loud. Select Continue to apply the routing change, or Cancel to leave it unchanged.

When you assign the Main routing source to ALT Outputs 3–4 while RoomTune correction profiles are configured, iD Control warns that both monitor pairs will use that source's Monitor Correction Profile. Select Continue to apply the change, or Cancel to keep the existing routing.

Routing to Digital Outputs

The optical output can also be assigned in Routing. First, select ADAT or S/PDIF for Digital Output 1 in Settings. The destinations shown in Routing depend on that choice and the current sample rate.

To feed connected digital equipment, route Main Mix, Mix A, Mix B or an available Virtual Thru source to the required digital output. Outputs are shown as stereo pairs by default; select Mono view if you need to route the left and right channels separately.

In ADAT mode, output pairs 1–2, 3–4, 5–6 and 7–8 are available at 44.1/48 kHz. At 88.2/96 kHz, pairs 1–2 and 3–4 remain available; at 176.4/192 kHz, only pair 1–2 remains available. S/PDIF provides one stereo output pair where the format is supported.

Please note: When digital outputs are set to S/PDIF Mode, routing a Main Mix Source to the digital outputs is not supported.
