ProMix 12 Installation and Operation Manual
SECTION TITLE
PGM/AUD button (9) selects either the Program or Audition bus. If the button is up,
the Program bus is heard; if the button is down, the Audition bus is heard, provided
that the BUS/AIR button (10) is up. If the BUS/AIR button (10) is down, the
PGM/AUD selection is overridden, and the audio source fed into the Monitor Air
input will be heard. This is normally fed with an off-air demodulator or tuner for
monitoring the station’s transmitted signal.
The Monitor system volume is adjusted using the Monitor FADER (11). The (exter-
nal) monitor amplifier should be adjusted so that the Monitor system produces ade-
quate volume with the Monitor fader set to about –15dB. The Monitor DIM button
(13) attenuates the monitor volume by 20dB.
The MONI MONO button (14) combines the Monitor output to monaural. This is
useful for checking mono compatibility of stereo signals. Note that this button
affects only the monitor audio; it has no effect on the main mix bus outputs.
CUE SYSTEM AND “QUEMIX”
One unique feature of the ProMix 12 is the CueMix system. This allows the con-
sole operator to listen to audio signals on the CUE bus through the main monitor
speakers, rather than the usual small ineffective “cue speaker” found on most broad-
cast consoles.
To use the CueMix feature (for example, to preview a track on a CD), follow these steps:
1. Put the CD player’s line input channel in CUE mode by pressing it’s CUE
button (7).
2. Turn the CueMix feature ON, by pushing the QMIX button (12) down.
The Monitor system will dim, reducing “normal” bus audio by 20dB; CUE bus
audio will be heard through
the right monitor speaker.
Adjust Cue audio level
using the CUE LEVEL control (24). Preview the source as needed.
3. Once the CD is “ready for air”, release the QMIX button and the CUE button
for the CD player channel. The Monitor system will return to normal operation.
The Cue system can also used in a “conventional” manner with the addition of an
external (amplified) cue speaker, connected via the CUE/TB output jack. (See
Section 2.9.) The audio level at this jack is controlled by the CUE LEVEL control
(24). This Cue audio output mutes whenever the Monitor system is muted.
The cue bus can also be heard via the console operators PHONES output. (See
Section 4.5)
PHONES OUTPUT
The console operator can monitor the console’s Monitor output via the PHONES
jack (15). Medium-impedance headphones of 32 ohms or higher can be used. Do
not use older 8-ohm headphones. The MONI/CUE button (16) determines what is
