I tried to find the answer to this in a search, but no luck. I've spent a lot of time recently piecing together a list of equipment I'm interested in for a modest home setup. I'd like to base it around the new Allen & Heath Mixwizard 16:2 as my mixer, and record into something that I haven't quite decided upon yet (8I/O interfaces, HD24, or something of that ilk). Since the 16:2 doesn't have the greatest monitoring setup around, I'm really interested in the Central Station to handle all of that. The plan is to feed one set of inputs with an Aux send from the board, and the other from the board's A-B out, setup to be a pre-fade monitor of the main L-R output of the board. The Aux will go to the Cue for headphone monitoring w/ talkback, and the A-B out will go to the Main to feed monitors. My question is this: does the Main Volume on the far right of the unit control the volume of the speakers only, main output only, or both? Looking at it intuitively would make me think that it controls the level of the speakers and not the "Main Out" on the back of the unit. However, the literature is a bit confusing to me. The same goes for the Mute, Dim, and Mono...do they affect the speaker outputs only, or also the Main Out?

Bruce, or anyone else using this unit...can you let me know how this works out? Thanks a lot!
 
The right volume knob controls speaker level only....... there's no way to control the main input line level - it's set for unity gain.
