Section 2: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the JBL MSC1 Monitor System Controller,
a unique product that combines the essential "Monitor Strip" functions found in
large mixing consoles with JBL’s highly acclaimed RMC
TM
Room Mode Correction
technology, that allows any connected speaker system to be automatically tuned
to your room. The end result is a calibrated reference environment in which your
speakers work in harmony with your room to take the guesswork out of mixing. As
the hub of your system, the MSC1 provides these powerful capabilities:
Mixing Console "Monitor Strip" Functions
• Monitor using two sets of stereo speakers.
• Monitor with and without a connected subwoofer* – The MSC1 automatically
balances the subwoofer and gives you a choice of cross-over settings for proper
integration of your subwoofer into your speaker system.
• Connect up to three 2-channel signal sources, and select the source to be
monitored.
• Send a headphone feed to a performer, or use headphones in the control room
to monitor program material.
• Tailor the frequency response of your speakers using flexible high and low
frequency EQ.*
JBL RMC Room Mode Correction
With the supplied MSC1 Control Center Software and MSC1 calibration microphone,
the MSC1 tunes the low frequency response of the speaker system* to compensate
for inaccuracies measured at the listening position caused by room modes (standing
waves) and the speakers proximity to walls, and the work surface.
Supplied MSC1 Control Center Software
Install the supplied MSC1 Control Center software on your computer to perform
RMC Calibration, adjust equalizer settings, speaker level and delay, and fine tune
a connected subwoofer.*
*Note: the processing functions of the MSC1 Room Mode Correction, EQ, subwoofer
settings, speaker level and delay are available on "A" SPEAKER OUTPUTS. Flat,
unprocessed signal is routed to "B" SPEAKER OUTPUTS. The subwoofer output is muted
when "B" SPEAKER OUTPUTS are selected.
We know that very few people read owner’s manuals from cover to cover, so we’ve
organized this one to make it easy to find the information you need.
