Monitor Panel (MON-D12)
Controls and Functions
The D-12 digital audio control surface is equipped with one MONI-
TOR Panel. This panel houses MONITORS, AFL & PFL levels,
SWITCHED METERS, and CONFIDENCE FEED sections.
PFL(Cue)/AFL(Solo) Section
The PFL(CUE) and AFL(SOLO) master level
controls are located on the left top section of the
MONITOR panel.
These rotary controls provide volume control of
the PFL (CUE) and AFL mixes respectively. PFL is
“pre-fader listen “, AFL is “after fader listen”. Moni-
tors may optionally be interrupted with the PFL/AFL
signal. This interrupt action is defined in the
OPTIONS.txt file stored on the D-12 surface (see
sample in Appendix 2). The default is no interrupt.
Input faders put into the PFL mix are summed and
output on a PFL mix signal, which may be mono or
stereo. The PFL mix is sent to the switched meters
whenever a PFL switch is lit. Likewise, input faders
put into the AFL mix are summed and output on the
AFL mix signal (mono or stereo) which is sent to the
switched meters when any AFL switch is lit. IFB,
Groups, and AUX and MXM masters may also be
switched to AFL.
Switched Meters Section
This section has a dedicated source control knob,
eight character display, and TAKE button to route
any signal on the router to the switched meter. There
are four “hot” buttons: EXT1, EXT2, EXT3, and
EXT4.
To select a signal to meter, rotate the encoder
SELECT. Available sources will be displayed in the
eight character SWITCHED METERS display. When
the desired signal is displayed, press the TAKE
button. The switched meter array will then display
the signal level. If, however, after a timeout period of
5 seconds, the TAKE button is not pressed, the array will revert back to its
previous selected program.
The four interlocked switches (EXT 1 - 4) act as source selects for the
switched meter. Program a meter hot button by scrolling through the
