Topic: Feature Request - Store Calibrated Listening Level

I'm using the ADI-2 Pro FS R as my monitor controller. My previous monitor controller had a feature that let's you set a desired reference level (eg 80 dB SPL = - x dB on Out 1/2) and store it so that a REF button can toggle between the stored level and the current vol level.

I imagine it is possible to mimic this behavior with a combination of settings stored in different Setups. But, it would be much more straight forward to have the option to store a reference level that then could be programmed to one of the buttons on the remote.

How hard/easy would this be to implement?

Re: Feature Request - Store Calibrated Listening Level

Half of it is already there:

You can assign stored Setups to buttons on the remote (or on the device), and Setups can recall the stored volume too:

• SETUP / Options / SPDIF/Remap Keys / Remap Keys: “Remote”
• SETUP / Options / SPDIF/Remap Keys / [selected key] : “Setup#”

• SETUP / Setups / Load/Store all Settings / Load Volume: “with Setup“


Watch out:
The  “Remap key” configuration is part of each individual “Setup” and needs to be set for each individual “Setup”.
This can be used to toggle through 2 or more Setups with one single button.

Works like this:
As the button assignment isn’t global, but part of each “Setup”, you can even have different assignments to the same button in each Setup - a nice feature that we can use for the following:
Choose ONE single button that you usually don’t need.
In Setup 1 assign: “load Setup 2”
In Setup 2 assign: “load Setup 1”
Now this single button toggles between both Setups.

This method can be extended to load even more Setups if needed, like:
In Setup 1 assign: “load Setup 2”
In Setup 2 assign: “load Setup 3”
In Setup 3 assign: “load Setup 4”
In Setup 4 assign: “load Setup 1”
Now the single button circles through Setup 1-4, clever, isn’t it?!

As for loading Setups ADI-2 asks for confirmation, a double-push is needed to execute the load.
Holding the button more than 1s, the button‘s original function is available.
Therefore I typically assign the SETUP button to load Setups – sic!

The “hardware” solution, like everybody does in every studio:
Put a sticker on the device:

(Volume) XX dBr = 80 dBSPL

Thanks for the tips! Going to try it soon. Sounds like a promising solution.
