Since there's no dedicated physical analog I/O for "Monitor Outputs", then I think this is just a setting in DADMan? Seems like a strange way to go. Why not just make the Line Level outputs switchable between Line and Speaker level ranges, like the Omni? I am definitely considering the MTRX Studio for an upcoming Atmos room, so I am curious.

I'm not super familiar with DADMan, but could you just dedicate the outputs you want to be line outs and at +24dBu as a separate monitor profile and use those with the monitor volume all the way up if you needed to connect outboard? I guess that wouldn't allow for +24dBu hardware inserts. Also, I don't know if you can have more than one monitor profile firing at the same time, and whether this would interrupt your main monitoring.

Wow, that's funny because I also found it difficult to locate when the MTRX and other interfaces are located on their product page. Also, it seems nobody knows how to attach a link into a post so it's posted below (I find it interesting how in a previous thread people were saying that specs are no big deal......Lol)

Where does it convey that this is switchable....? I need verification not someone just posting it present. You would think if one is getting ready to purchase a $5k unit from a company they would spend time and money to include. Even the Steinberg AXR4 output is only +18dbu ......
