## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you plug in a sub-woofer?**
A: Only if your sub feeds your monitors. If you don't know the answer to that question, you should probably start there. This device just provides 2 source inputs, and 2 stereo outputs.

**Q: I want to use this to control if sound comes through my headphones or studio monitors. Is the phones out affected by the mute or monitor toggles?**
A: It has 2 headphone outputs, each with their own control, and a knob to choose between cue an input.  It is not affected by monitor toggles or mute; those just turn the respective monitor speaker on and off.  I run my mains on A and my subs on B for independent control.  Each monitor also has its own trim level to manage balance.

This thing behaves like any line mixer should.

**Q: is there a way to turn your voice on and off while recording?**
A: yes.

**Q: What cables do i need? i do not know how to set up. i have 2 krk studio monitors and scarlet solo interface. please help**
A: You need 2x RCA to 1/4" cables to connect your Scarlett to the Big Knob, and 2x 1/4" to 1/4" to connect the Big Knob to your monitors. Since the Scarlett is unbalanced out, there's no reason to use TRS (balanced) cables for your monitor run.
