BPM DISPLAY
HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER
The main display should now show the BPM reading of the monitored audio and the ‘Beat’
indicator should flash on each downbeat, as in the following example:
The right-hand digit of the BPM display may fluctuate slightly as the BPM engine constantly
analyses and updates the reading. Any major shift in tempo (changing the playback speed
using a CD/vinyl deck’s pitch control) will be tracked and displayed in real-time by the MICRO
BPM.
When the input signal level drops to zero (end of track) the BPM display will flash three times
and change from:
When further beat information is detected the BPM reading will be resumed.
If beat information becomes temporarily unavailable in the monitored audio signal (quiet or
complex passages, acapella styles etc.) the BPM reading and flashing Beat indication will be
displayed for a period of 10 seconds (’BPM hold’ mode). This feature is designed to maintain
BPM readings during short breaks in the audio track thus giving a more stable reading. If, after
10 seconds beat information is still unavailable, the display will flash three times and change
to ‘Idle’ mode (four centre bars) as shown above.
To hear the monitored audio on the connected headphones, slowly turn up the ‘LEVEL’ control
on the MICRO BPM until a comfortable listening level is reached.
The High and Low EQ controls on the MICRO BPM can be used to adjust the monitored
sound to your individual requirements. From the centre-click null position, turn the knobs
clockwise to boost or anti-clockwise to cut the specified audio frequencies.
When the ‘Stereo/Mono’ switch is set to ‘Mono’(down position) the monitored audio signal will
be centralised - i.e. the left and right channel signals will be equal.
AVOID USING HIGH LEVEL
SETTINGS FOR LONG PERIODS AS DAMAGE TO HEARING OR HEADPHONES MAY
OCCUR.
NOTE: this product is NOT designed for use with ‘split-cue’ headphone monitoring systems.
