Pushing the
TALK LEV
SoftKnob selects be-
tween adjusting the levels of the
Monitor 1 Talk
To
and
Dim
levels and the
Monitor 2 Dim
level.
The active function is highlighted in yellow on
the screen. Turn the knob to adjust the values of
these settings.

Rotate the
HP LINK
knob to choose whether
the headphone source will follow the Monitor
1 source selection. Push the knob to
Take
your
selection.
*
Linked
means that Headphone and Monitor
1 selections will mirror each other; making a
selection from one bank of keys on the Moni-
tor Module will automatically choose the
same source on the other bank.
*
Unlinked
allows Monitor 1 and Headphone
sources to be selected independently of each
other.
The strongest link: You’ve noticed that there
are no Direct Selection Keys for the headphone
source on the M 2-Fader Module. By de-
fault, CR Headphones and Monitor 1 sources are
linked - the phones will play whatever source is
assigned to the monitor speakers. So how can
the operator select a headphone source if s/he
chooses to Unlink the headphones?
When Unlinked is chosen in the Headphones
Follow Monitors box, the Preview knob doubles
as the headphone source selector. When the
operator pushes the Preview knob, the Head-
phone Source menu is displayed. Voila!

The
H/P PROC
knob allows the board op to turn

Pushing the
HP Proc
knob selects
Change Set-
tings
onscreen and takes the operator to the
H/P
Process
screen shown in Figure 5-16. In this
screen, the operator is presented with a graphi-
cal representation of the EQ curve applied to the
headphone channel. Talent can then apply three-
band parametric equalization to his or her head-
phone channel, and select headphone dynamics
processing. The screen indicates the amount of
cut/boost applied, and the center frequency of
each band.

Lo Gain/Bypass/Active:
Rotating this Soft-
Knob adjusts the amount of gain or cut applied
to the low EQ band. Pressing this knob toggles
EQ between
