Monitoring
The large knob below the ‘MONITOR LEVEL’ display normally sets the level (up to 11!) of the main control room
monitors. The column of six buttons to the right enables this control to be used for the named alternative functions.
You will be monitoring on whichever set of speakers is selected from the ‘LS SELECT’ group: the Main 5.1
speakers (‘Main A’ – the default with no buttons selected), ALT 5.1 (‘Main B’), MINI A or MINI B.
The loudspeakers are fed from whatever source has been selected in the ‘MON SRC’ group of buttons. The
alternatives include the MIX A bus, the stereo downmix (STEREO MIX), and two external source selectors,
EXT A and EXT B. Sources will be intercancelling unless the SUM button is selected. All sources to the
monitoring are stereo except those brought in via the EXT A monitor source selector (see below).
The console has three monitor modes: 5.1, STEREO and MONO, selected via the ‘MON MODE’ group of buttons.
5.1 mode is the default (STEREO and MONO not selected) and delivers all six main busses to their respective
monitor outputs.
Selecting STEREO folds down the 5.1 inputs to the monitor path via a 5-2 gain-compensated matrix, and feeds the
result to left and right monitor outputs. MONO can be selected with or without STEREO and sums the left and right
monitor busses, feeding the result equally to the left and right monitor outputs.
