Headphone Monitoring
The front-panel headphone jack will accommodate either
low- or high-impedance stereo headphones with a 3.5mm
plug. When you plug headphones in, the display automati-
cally opens the
Headphone Volume
screen where the slider
will adjust the listening level. After you set Volume , push
the
Back
button twice to return to the menu you were on.
You can also reach the Headphone Volume screen anytime
from the Main Menu.
The default
Headphones Source: selection is Proc. Out , which
monitors the processor output. De-emphasis is introduced
in the monitor path when pre-emphasis is turned on. Other
monitoring options are the three ‘raw’ program inputs to
the NOVIA 236. This allows you to preview the incoming,
unprocessed audio, including the failover source, without
putting it on air.

sounds best for your programming and market de-
mographics.
In this contrived exam-
ple, ‘Bob,’ the station’s
P.D., has developed his
own version of our fac-
tory (F) Country preset,
and has renamed it Country-2 (Bob’s) . All processing parame-
ters are saved in each preset, and presets are saved along
with all other user settings when you download a Hardware
Profile backup (see Page 29).
Creating presets is easy. After you have nursed-in just the
right sound for your station, scroll to the top of the
Presets
menu to
