10.4. Monitor, Talkback und Signal Generator
10.4.1. Monitor
Comprehensive engineer’s headphone and local monitoring is provided. Select
either LR 2-track return as the default source using the L-R/2-TRK switch.
Pressing PFL or AFL elsewhere on the console automatically overrides the
current monitor source with the signal from the channel or master section. The
red PFL/AFL active indicator illuminates and the console meters display the
active signal.
The console monitor meters provide 12 LED indicators to accurately display the
signal level of the selected monitor source. Reduce the gain or level if the red
‘+16’ peak indicator lights. For optimum performance the signals should be adjusted to read an
average ‘0’ with loudest peaks reaching around ‘+6’.
Warning: To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate any close-to-ear monitoring such ad
headphones for long periods at high volume. Continued exposure to high volume sound can
cause frequency selective or wide range hearing loss.
