Introduction
MONITOR SETUP
To customize the monitor setup of the DA7, access the [SOLO/MON] window
by pressing the SOLO MONITOR button on the Top Panel.
The [MON A] area function mutes the MONITOR A speakers 20dB. When
selected, the button will appear in inverse video, and the speakers will
remain dimmed until the button is deactivated. The function can
be accessed from the Top Panel by pressing the MMC/CURSOR button and
SOLO MONITOR button simultaneously.
SOLO is set to [IN PLACE] and [SOLO] in the factory default. This allows
you to only SOLO one channel at a time, post-fader and post-pan. In a mix
situation you may want the [SOLO MONITOR][POSITION] area set to [IN
PLACE], which is post-fader and post-pan, and the [SOLO MONITOR]
[MODE] area set to [MIX], which allows multiple channels to be solo’d.
SOLO MUTE returns the monitor to normal, but leaves the selections of
solo’d channels intact. When SOLO MUTE is cleared, monitoring returns to
the previously selected SOLO channels.
The [SURROUND MONITOR] area mode selection is important too. When
the [SURROUND MONITOR] is in the [AUX] mode, it will send the
surround bus 1 and 2 signals through MONITOR A L/R, while aux sends 3
through 6 route the surround bus 3 through 6 signals. In the [MON] mode,
the surround signal path uses the MONITOR A L/R, MONITOR B L/R, and
MASTER L/R outputs. If the [MON] mode is active, when trying to listen to
another source in the system that is not assigned to the [SURROUND
MONITOR], you will find nothing coming out of the monitor speakers. The
same condition could occur by selecting [SURR] for a channel in the
[CHANNEL] window [ASSIGN] area.
