12. Monitor Controller
Overview
The Monitor Control window consolidates the most important monitoring functions for your MIO into one
convenient window. You can configure which sources you want to monitor and from which outputs they
will be monitored, for any number of channels from mono to 7.1 Surround. You can configure the Monitor
Controller as a floating window so it always remains accessible, even when the MIO Console is hidden. You
can choose between the full size Monitor Control window and a smaller Mini Controller window that contains
nearly all the functions of its big brother. Finally, as an optional component of the MIO Console, if the Monitor
Controller simply doesn’t fit into your workflow, you don’t need to use it.
