selected student instruments can be un-muted (while the others remain muted) by pressing the student’s number but-
ton.
All students hear: the teachers instrument and microphone, and/or an external audio source (if “Tape In” or “Aux
In” is depressed.)
The teacher hears: his or her own instrument and microphone, and/or an external audio source (if “Tape In” or
“Aux In” is depressed.)
Classroom Speaker Monitoring
Purpose
Allows the MTLC-16 to function without headphones for demonstration purposes.
Procedure
A) Be sure an external audio monitoring system (preferably stereo) is connected to the “Mon. Out” jacks on the
back of the MTLC-16 as described in the “Music Lab Installation Guide.”
B) Set the external audio monitoring system at a comfortable listening level.
C) Select student(s), pair(s), group(s), or an external audio source (i.e. “Tape In” or “Aux In”) to be broadcast to
the class by following the instructions in sections: “Single and Multiple Student Monitoring and
Communication,” “Group Monitoring and Communication,” “Pairs (Duet-Style) Monitoring and
Communication,” “Class Communication,” “Student Broadcasting,” and/or “External Audio Broadcasting.”
D) Set the “Tape/Aux In,” “Mic,” and/or “Inst” sliders at comfortable listening levels. Sliding the sliders towards
the top of the MTLC-16 increases the listening level and sliding the sliders towards the bottom of the MTLC-16
decreases the listening level.
E) While playing a selected instrument(s) and/or speaking into the microphone(s) being broadcast to the class,
set the “Mon Out” slider at a satisfactory listening level. Sliding the slider towards the top of the MTLC-16
increases the listening level and sliding the slider towards the bottom of the MTLC-16 decreases the listening
level.
F) Adjust the audio monitoring system if needed.
