Width Switch [5]
The Width Switch [5] toggles the stereo image of the
Headphones Output between true Stereo and a Mono
sum. This is useful for checking a mix for mono
compatibility during mixing, or when recording musicians
who prefer listening to a single headphone/earphone.
The Width Switch [5] only affects the Headphones Output
[2] and not the physical outputs of N22H.
Tip:
Switching the Headphones Output to Mono
could be desirable if the performer prefers to
only listen to one headphone/earphone when
they are performing. For example, many singers prefer to only monitor through a
single headphone/earphone so that they can better intonate during recording.
Switching to Mono ensures that they will hear all of the stereo information through a
single earphone.
Source Switch [6]
The Source Switch [6] determines the audio source for N22H’s Headphone Amplifier for C.A.S.T.
operation or standalone operation (when set to ‘Inputs’).
C.A.S.T.
The Source Switch [6] should be set to C.A.S.T. when N22H is being used as part of a C.A.S.T.
system. In this mode, the headphone amplifier will receive the audio signal incoming from C.A.S.T.
For example, if N22H’s C.A.S.T. Output [13] is connected to a C.A.S.T. Input of a Cranborne Audio
500R8, N22H’s headphone amplifier will monitor the Aux Mix and Talkback generated from the
connected 500R8.
INPUTS
The Source Switch [6] should be set to Inputs when N22H is being used as a standalone
headphone amplifier without C.A.S.T. In this mode, the headphone amplifier will receive the audio
signal incoming from the Inputs [4] of N22H.
For example, if N22H’s Inputs are connected to a line-level output source such as a keyboard,
mixer, or audio interface, switching the Source Switch [6] to Inputs allows the user to monitor
those line sources directly.
Tip:
The Source Switch [6] can be used to toggle between two different input sources
connected to N22H at the same time. In a live application, if N22H’s Inputs [4] are
connected to the outputs of a keyboard and the C.A.S.T. Output is connected to an N22
and mixer downstream, the performer can monitor their own IEM monitor mix from
C.A.S.T. or monitor the keyboard’s output directly using the Source Switch.
