Default Different monitor level per speaker set?

Hey all,
I'd like to balance the level offset between my primary and secondary speakers-- is there a way to have different monitor gain for each set, A, B, etc? Avid's video on You Tube about configuring speaker sets would seem to indicate this visually (looks like different levels when cycling through the speakers), but I haven't figured out a way to do this yet... Thanks in advance!

Heard back from Avid support that this is currently not possible. :/ Hoping for a change in time!

If your powered speakers don't have a gain pot, you can always use something like this on the hotter pair to match levels.

There are still some things that my Avid Omni would do that the Carbon will not. I'm happy with the low latency, but there are still some gaps that can improve. Hope they keep working on it.

Thanks @Top Jimmy, that's actually exactly what I'm looking to get in the short term! In an ideal world, I'd love to not need any additional hardware or etc solutions-- this is in part coming from using a UA Apollo, where their Console software included a level offset for additional speaker pairs, as well as (and I REALLY hope this shows up in the future) indicating the value of the current monitor gain, which was crucial for calibrating things for my audio post work. I'll have some workarounds for that in the meantime, but I'm hoping that future updates for Carbon expand on this kind of software control, as well as expanding that into Eucon (and further being able to control/etc with Soundflow!).
