These controls set the level of the audio when a channel or bus solo is engaged.
-| Solo Boost | This is the level that will be added to the current main monitor level when a track or bus is soloed, providing a conveniant boost in level for the isolated signal. The rotary control has a range of 0dB to +10dB and can be set at any point between these two values. A drop down menu with pre-defined values is also provided for convenience. |

| SiP Cut | Only relevant to Solo in Place mode. This sets the level that all muted tracks or busses will be muted by. By default it is -&infinity; i.e. the non soloed tracks are totally inaudible. The level can be raised to make the other tracks audible, though dimmed. This is also sometimes referred to Solo in Front. The rotary control has a range of -inf to +0dB and can be set at any point between these two values. A drop down menu with pre-defined values is also provided for convenience. |
Each of the individual paths through the Monitor Section, (e.g. L and R for stereo), can be controlled individually. Four functions are available:

|---|---|
| Dim | Reduces the selected path(s) level by the amount set with the Dim level control |
| Solo | Soloes the selected channel(s) |
| Inv | Inverts the selected channel(s) polarity |
