Mackie Big Knob 2x2 Passive Studio Monitor Controller for Two Audio Sources and Monitor Pairs, No Power Needed

Mackie Big Knob 2x2 Passive Studio Monitor Controller for Two Audio Sources and Monitor Pairs, No Power Needed

Q: Can you plug in a sub-woofer?

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?

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: 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

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.
