Default XMon Hookup Question

I've been using an Avid Omni for stereo monitoring but now I have a D-Command w/Xmon and I want to setup a surround monitoring system. I've been searching the Omni guide and wondering if it's possible to use the 8 I/O on the Omni to set up a 7.1 path without the Omni's front panel monitor level control bing in the chain, just straight +4 to the Xmon letting it control the levels. No luck so far. I have an Apogee Rosetta 800/192 I could use to feed the Xmon, but rather use the Avid conversion in the Omni. Any suggestions welcome. Thanx in advance.

Hmmm, thought for sure that someone would have weighed in by now. I know the OMNI can do the 7.1 output scheme, but you would need to read the manual to find out if that can bypass the volume knob. With that in mind, is there a compelling reason to bypass it? Would it not be acceptable to calibrate it one time and leave it at that setting?

You bypass the volume control by not setting up the outputs as “speaker outputs” and just have them set as line outs. If you don’t define them as speakers, they are available as line outs.

Thank you! I think this might be a winner, makes sense anyhow.
