All of the optional programmable settings are found in the Main Menu displayed on the controller 
LCD window when the 

Enter

 key is pressed.  Scrolling through the Main Menu pages can be 

done by repeated pressing of the 

Enter

 key, or by turning the 

Monitor

 knob while holding the 

Enter

 key (only when the screen cursor is highlighting one of the up/down page arrows).  The 

menu is arranged in an endless loop, with either direction leading to every page.  Turning the 

Monitor

 knob alone will move the cursor up (CCW) or down (CW), through each programmable 

page selection and on to the next page.  Pressing the 

Enter

 key, while a selection is highlighted, 

will either change it’s value or advance to another menu selection, depending on the page 
displayed.  The 

Monitor

 knob is also used for changing values, and works in an accelerated 

mode whenever the 

Enter

 key is held.  Pressing the 

Exit 

key will always take you back one level 

until the operation mode screen is reached.

This page is for setting the gain levels for the unbalanced inputs, raising them to match the levels 
of the  +4dBu balanced inputs.  The cursor is located over the first selection, “Lt”, the Left channel 
of Stereo Input 9.  Turning the 

Monitor

 knob will increase or decrease the gain level, and 

simultaneously change the reference level.  Pressing the 

Enter

 key will move the cursor to the 

next selection.  The factory default setting is for a gain of 11.8dB and a reference of –10.2dBV, 
appropriate for consumer equipment designed to this specification.

This page is used when the MonitorMax output is to be calibrated using a pink noise generator 
and SPL meter.  The procedure involves inserting a +4dBu pink noise source into one input, and 
trimming one output until the SPL meter reading matches the target SPL level on the MonitorMax 
display.  The procedure is repeated for each speaker. 
 
The cursor is located over the first selection; the Left channel of the Main speaker output.  
Turning the 

Monitor

 knob will increase or decrease the attenuation level in 0.1dB increments.  

Holding the 

Enter

 key while turning the 

Monitor

 knob will change the setting in 1dB increments.  

Pressing the 

Enter

 key will move the cursor to the next selection.
