Monitor Controls
Below the input channels are the input monitor controls. The input monitor
controls allow you to monitor the input signal via any of the available
outputs on your Mona. Each input channel pair has a corresponding monitor
control pair directly below it on the console. At the top of each monitor pair
are radio buttons that allow you to selectively mute (M) or solo (S) each
channel. In the middle you will find a pair of faders that will allow you to
set the levels of the monitor signals. At the bottom of the control area there
is a radio button that allows you to “gang” (G) the faders. Ganging the
faders ties them together so that they will maintain their relative placement
with regard to each other. Below each fader is its corresponding pan control.
In the default pan positions (see example below) the signal from input
1(left) will be monitored by output 1(left), and the signal from input 2(right)
will be monitored by output 2(right). Moving a pan control will determine
how much of the input signal is sent to each output channel in the selected
output pair. Both pan controls and faders can be reset to default by pressing
the Ctrl button and left clicking on the control.
Instead of level meters, each monitor control has a series of numbered
buttons. These buttons allow you to select which output channel pair
controls are displayed, so you can adjust them.
The monitors are one of the most powerful functions of the console. When
you are recording, these controls allow you to set the level at which each
