Question

This is a feature request (QUANTUM):

Allow the Main Knob volume control on the QUANTUM to control the volume of the SPDIF output when main output is routed through it. Today, most monitor speakers have SPDIF-In for connecting to SPDIF outputs and it is really very annoying that you can't control the volume from the Hardware on the QUANTUM.

Thank you...

Answer 1

We send the signal according to the Sony Philips Digital Interface Standard (SPDIF). which requires the use of a digital attenuator to change the level of the SPDIF stream itself. It is better to attenuate the signal after the DA stage which your monitors already do. However a bit inconvenient to reach back and adjust the inputs all the time.

Consider instead to use a monitoring solution such as the PreSonus Central Station or Monitor Station v2 both of which have SPDIF input and local volume control for one or more sets of monitors.
