MONITOR LEVEL
CONTROL
This control adjusts the level of the
stereo signal feeding the control
room monitors.
HEADPHONE LEVEL
This control adjusts the level of signal
fed to the headphone jack below. The
signal fed to the Control Room Moni-
tors also feeds the headphone jack
and this Headphone level control can
be adjusted independently of the main
MONITOR CONTROL LEVEL.
MONITOR MUTE
When depressed this switch kills the
signal being fed to the Control Room
Monitors.
DIM
When depressed, this reduces the
level of the main monitor outputs by
approx 30 dB.
Note:
this has no ef-
fect on the main Left/Right outputs
of the console.
ALT MONITOR 1 ON
When this switch is depressed the
main Left/Right Monitor feed is di-
verted to the ALT MONITOR output
pins of the associated DSUB on the
rear connector panel.. In doing so,
the console main Left /Right signal
is switched OFF. This allows the en-
gineer to set up a separate monitor
feed (say to another set of monitor
speakers) and be able to A/B the sys-
tems for comparison.
TALKBACK MIC
Directly behind this location is situat-
ed the internal high quality electrets
microphone.
TALK TO GROUPS
Momentary switch, which when de-
pressed assigns the talkback signal
(post the talkback LEVEL Control)
to the all the group buses. Addition-
ally when depressed the signal to the
control room monitor is dimmed (at-
tenuated) by approx 30 dB to avoid a
feedback situation in the control room
monitor speakers.
HEADPHONE JACK
(3.5mm, 1/8”)
To monitor the console on headphones
the engineer can plug them into this
jack. The headphones jack is driven by
a dedicated high quality, high current
stereo amplifier.
TALKBACK LEVEL
CONTROL
This control adjusts the level of the
talkback microphone to the talkback
destinations below.
EXTERNAL MIC
When depressed switches the talk-
back microphone source from the
internal electrets above or the exter-
nal microphone plugged into the ap-
propriated pins of the DSUB situated
on the rear master connector panel.
Note: the rear panel talkback micro-
phone connector is supplied with
+48V phantom voltage and feeds into
an internal high quality preamp stage.
TALK TO AUXES
Momentary switch, which when de-
pressed assigns the talkback signal
(post the talkback LEVEL Control) to
all AUX mix busses.
