MONITOR 
 

In this section of the console, the operator chooses what to listen to, 
and controls the listening level. 

 

   

 
1. The CONTROL ROOM LEVEL adjusts the 
main listening level.  The DIMMER switch can 
quickly dim the speakers by 20dB or so. 
 
2. The CONTROL ROOM switches choose what 
to listen to in the Control Room monitors, (and in 
the headphones). 
 
3. The STUDIO switches choose what to listen to 
in the Studio monitors.  Pressing the CONTROL 
ROOM switch will route the Control Room signal 
also to the Studio. 
 
4. The SOLO CLEAR switch will switch off the 
SOLO switches for all channels. 
 
5. The MONITOR DISPLAY switch accesses the 
many extra monitor functions on the LCD.
