QUICK GUIDE To Monitoring Functions
Operation
5. After you have set up Crossfeed and Speaker Angle, you can then de-
termine your Center Level setting. Although at normal hearing levels
over headphones the center signal generally seems too quiet, after
Crossfeed and Speaker Angle processing it then can seem too loud.
Therefore the center level can be lowered to avoid this effect.
After finishing these adjustment you should have achieved a very good
initial headphone equivalent of your loudspeaker reproduction.
But as a final bit of advice we‘d like to emphasize that monitoring
over loudspeakers remains important. Every studio offers alterna-
tive monitoring with distinctive sounds (near field, mid field and full
range). Experienced engineers hear a mix on the portable radio, in the
car and through a Hi-fi setup. And everywhere a mix will sound differ-
ent – just as it will over headphones. But for mixing, the Phonitor gives
results with headphones that are as close to (near field) monitoring as
possible.
