MONITOR / HEADPHONE CONTROL
ProDesk-4 is equipped with a comprehensive system to allow the operator to accurately monitor signals within the console.
Multiple sources can be selected and combined for listening, and the Solo system permits selected inputs and ouputs to be
monitored and metered. A common set of selection switches are used to choose the signal(s) for the Headphones and
Monitor. The Solo system interacts with the Monitor system and is described on the following page.
HP & Monitor Source Select switches (all selected sources mix together)
L-R:
When selected, this switch will route the L&R buses to the left and right stereo headphones and Monitor out.
Center:
When this switch is selected, it will route the Center bus equally into the left and right stereo headphones and Monitor out.
Mono/A6 Fader:
When this switch is selected, it will route the Mono bus or Aux-6 bus equally
into the left and right stereo headphones and Monitor out. The audio source
for this switch follows the Fader-Flip function; the bus being controlled by the
100mm fader will be selected for monitoring.
Aux 1-2 Switch:
When this switch is selected, it will route Aux 1 (to left) and Aux 2 (to right) as
stereo signals into the stereo headphones and Monitor out. This allows
monitoring these auxiliary outputs without using the solo system.
Pre Switch
When this switch is depressed, the pre-level signal for all sources is selected. This
allows monitoring to be independent of any local level controls. When this
button is Up, the post-level signals are used as the sources.
Sum Mono Switch
When this switch is depressed, the monitor out is summed to a mono signal.
When this button is Up, the sources maintain their stero images.
Headphone Level Control
This control adjusts the level being fed to the headphone system. All three
headphone jacks are fed from this control: one on the Master top panel (1/8”),
and two below the armrest (1/4” & 1/8”). All 3 jacks are wired in parallel.
Solo Off To Headphones switch (with Red LED)
A solo signal will normally override the default HP signal source. When this switch is depressed, it will prevent the solo signal
from overriding the selected default headphone signal. An LED will illuminate when this Solo Off switch is activated. This
switch can be used if a dedicated output is desired: Select the desired signals to mix together (press their source switches to
mix together), adjust the level. With the Solo-Off switch depressed, the headphone outputs will NOT be interrupted by the
solo system.
Monitor Level Control (and Ouput Jacks) Connectors located
On Master Interface Panel
This control adjusts the stereo level being fed to the Monitor Output
jacks on the rear on the console.
Left, Right and Sum-Mono TRS outputs are avilable on the Master
Interface Panel (shown here).
Impedance-Balanced 1/4” output jacks are provided for Left and
Right monitor outputs. An additional 1/4” Impedance-Balanced
output connector is provided which is a sum of the Left and Right
signals. This connector may be used as a summed-mono output
to feed a sub-woofer system or to drive a mono wedge monitor
system when the console is used as a monitor console.
Solo Off To Monitors switch (with Red LED)
This switch prevents the Solo system from interrupting the default feed to the Monitor outputs. Operation and purpose is the
same as the Solo-Off switch for the Headphones.
