Default Monitor Section

Hi,

has someone got any deeper infos whats included in the Monitor section (XMON) ?

... like is there a fixed point where I can connect my RTW meters ?
How many machine inputs, how many outputs etc. pp.

Dedicated phase invert button ?

Is it a new XMON or still the old one which came with d-command?

Are there any pictures at the web where one can have a closer look (higher resolution for zooming into) ?

Are there knobs assignable to the monitor section or is it using fixed knobs & buttons ?

etc. pp.

Xmon doesn't even have meter outs. No folddown ect... Oh well.

Well it has. But you will lose the Alt speaker output. Got my RTWs and other analyzing stuff connected to them. Works since day one.

You need to install a special Avid firmware:

I know it's just a crappy workaround. I just don't get why they make you buy an xmon. Can't we just buy the controller without the xmon?

Any news or updates on that topic ? Or will all external meter users loose again one Ctrl-room output by updating the Xmon with a special "hack" firmware ?
