A.
Channel Select Buttons and LEDs
Eight pushbutton switches, one for each input channel.
Pressing a button monitors the signal from that channel, and
lights the corresponding LED. Any combination of eight
channels can be selected.
B. Volume Control
Rotary potentiometer with knob controls the volume of the
internal or external speaker. Has no effect on the VU
Bar graph Meter display.
C. Processor/Amplifi er Selector Switch and LEDs
Pushbutton switch with corresponding LEDs selects inputs
from cinema processor or power amplifi ers for monitoring.
D: VU Bargraph Meter
12-segment meter displays input level of selected channels
from –40 VU to +3 VU. The meter can be calibrated by the
rear-panel trim adjustment, which operates independently of
the Volume Control.
E. Test Jack
1/4” phone jack lets the user monitor the audio output of the
DSi 8M. Inserting a mono or stereo 1/4” phone plug here
disables the internal speaker and routes the audio output to
the Test Jack.
F. Internal Speaker
For convenient monitoring at the monitor panel.
G. Power Switch and Power LED
Rocker switch turns power on or off. LED illuminates when
power is on.
The DSi 8M is intended to be used with DSi Series
amplifi ers which use on-board crossovers for any
loudspeaker application. Therefore, there is no internal
crossover option for the DSi 8M System Monitor.
