Mono MoDe
This feature sums the left and right channels on every set of outputs. Quite useful for checking for phase and balance issues in
mixing and mastering. Or listening to Beatles records as they were originally mixed. To activate mono mode:
1
Push and hold the rotary encoder to enter the setup menu. Then rotate the encoder until you reach the mono mode screen,
as indicated by the [ ] symbol.
2
Push and release the encoder to activate mono, which will be indicated by the illuminated decimal points [.].
3
Once you have activated (or deactivated) mono mode, either rotate the encoder to advance to the next setup menu item, or
push and hold the encoder to exit the setup menu.
CroSSfeeD MoDe (x-feeD)
Please refer to the detailed description of this feature earlier in this manual. Crossfeed is only applied to the headphone outputs.
This feature is toggled on and off in the setup menu, and its current status is preserved whenever the m903 is power cycled. To
activate:
1
Push and hold the rotary encoder to enter the setup menu. Then rotate the encoder until you reach the crossfeed mode
screen, as indicated by the letters CF.
2
Push and release the encoder to activate crossfeed, which will be indicated by the illuminated the decimal points C.F.
3
Once you have activated (or deactivated) crossfeed, either rotate the encoder to advance to the next setup menu item, or
push and hold the encoder to exit the setup menu.
line oUtPUt MoDe
The rotary encoder is used to select and adjust the volume of the three available sets of outputs (headphones, line 1 and line 2).
Depending of the output mode selected here, the two line outputs can either be selected and controlled independently of each
other, or they can be grouped together and controlled in parallel. These options depend on how your m903 is installed – you may
want to send the identical, parallel line outputs to two different input destinations (power amp, powered monitors, headphone
distribution etc..). Or you may want independent control of two different sets of monitors (mains and nearfields).
One interesting possibility for having the two line outputs grouped is a simple 2.1 monitoring setup - send one set to your moni-
tors and the other to a subwoofer. Use the level offset feature to trim either set of outputs accordingly.
To select between the two line output modes:
1
Push and hold the rotary encoder to enter the setup menu. Then rotate the encoder until you reach the two line output
mode options, as indicated by the letters L1 or L2.
2
Push and release the encoder to toggle between either mode, which again we be indicated by the letters L1 or L2. L1 is
what refer to as ‘grouped’ operation, where both line outputs are selected and adjusted together in unison. L2 is what we call
‘round robin, where each line output is selected and adjusted independently of each other.
3
Once you have selected the mode you require, either rotate the encoder to advance to the next setup menu item, or push
and hold the encoder to exit the setup menu.
exClUSiVe oUtPUt MoDe
This mode allows you to toggle between all three outputs and mute the output not selected. The exclusive output mode can be
very useful when referencing between the line outputs (controlling your speakers) and your headphones. Instead of having to
manually mute or turn down the volume when toggling between outputs, this mode handles it automatically. Once enabled,
selecting either line output turns that output on at its set volume and mutes the headphone outputs. Selecting the headphone
output turns this output on at the set volume and mutes the line outputs. Note: the exclusive output mode is saved anytime the
m903 is power cycled. To activate exclusive output mode:
1
Push and hold the rotary encoder to enter the setup menu. Then rotate the encoder until you reach the exclusive output
mode option, as indicated by the letters EO.
2
Push and release the encoder to toggle on, which will be indicated by the illuminated the decimal points E.O. (push and
release again to toggle off )
3
Once you have selected the output mode you require, either rotate the encoder to advance to the next setup menu item, or
push and hold the encoder to exit the setup menu.
