Monitor Inputs and Outputs
Monitor TRS Input and Output The monitor is
available as a line level signal on the rear panel. A pair of TRS
jack sockets accept an external stereo source as the input, and
another pair present the stereo output. The L and R signals
have separate sockets. Maximum level available is +18dBu.
Decide the normal operating level according to headroom
required. Typical level is 0 or +4dBu. Each TRS socket is
differentially balanced and wired tip hot (+), ring cold (-) and
sleeve ground. To use these with unbalanced equipment link
the ring to the sleeve.
Monitor Headphones Output This follows the
TRS monitor output signals. Plug stereo headphones into the
front panel socket. We recommend that you use high quality
closed ear headphones from 30 to 600 ohms impedance.
Adjust the level trimmer using a flat bladed implement such as
a screwdriver. It can be accessed with the face plate on or off.
In most cases re-adjustment should not be necessary once the
unit is installed and operated normally.
Using the monitor Plug headphones into the front
socket. Connect the rear panel line outputs into a stereo
amplifier driving monitor loudspeakers. You can select the
source to monitor in three ways:
1. Front panel Setup menu *7 With the face plate removed,
press and hold the MENU key until the Setup menus are
accessed. Press ENTER to scroll through until menu *7
Monitoring is displayed. Press the scroll keys to select the
input or output, the channel number and the point in the signal
path you want to listen to. These are shown in the table earlier
in this user guide. Once selected you should hear the signal in
the monitor.
2.
iDR System Manager Open the Monitor Settings
window. There are three options:
O Follow Mouse / Active Window – Move the mouse over the
active windows. It automatically selects the signal associated
with any box that has meters in its display to the monitor bus.
O Independent Outputs – Assigns the headphones and
monitor sockets as additional channel outputs instead of audio
monitor. Do not tick this if you want to use the monitor
function.
O Manual Select – Manually enter the channel number and
point you want to listen to.
3. Patch recall The manually selected monitor settings can
be stored in the patches. You could assign patch recalls to the
soft keys so that the monitor is selected from front panel or
remote keys for normal day-to-day operation.
