The Speaker A path and its dedicated balanced XLR outputs have a maximum output level of
+24dBu to provide clean headroom and parity with 500R8’s +24dBu internal audio circuit
circuitry. The Speaker B path and its dedicated impedance balanced ¼” jack outputs have a
maximum output level of +18.5dBu.
Note:
Exercise caution when connecting speakers to 500R8 and ensure that they are able
to accept the high output level of the Speaker A Outputs to avoid causing damage
to their internal components. For information on how to setup your speakers
correctly with 500R8, follow the details in the “
Configuring studio monitors with
” section of this manual.
Mono Key
The Mono key on 500R8 sums the stereo information of the Monitor Bus and sends the mono
signal out of the left and right outputs of the currently active speakers (A or B). The Mono key is
useful to check how your mix will translate on mono systems as well as small devices that do
not accurately reproduce stereo imaging such as phones and small bluetooth speakers.
The Mono key also affects the Monitor Headphones output for checking mono compatibility
with headphones.
Mute Key
The Mute key overrides all other speaker functions and disables the Speaker A and Speaker B
Outputs of 500R8.
The Headphone Outputs remain unchanged in this operation and Talkback/Mono buttons
continue to function as normal into the Aux and Monitor Headphone Outputs.
Dim Key
The Dim key attenuates the Monitor Bus by 12dB in order for the control room to be
temporarily dimmed in volume for conversation. The Dim key affects both the currently active
Speaker Outputs (A/B) as well as the Monitor Headphones output. Using the Dim key rather
than the volume control allows the engineer to have quick access to two distinct listening
levels without reaching for the Monitor Level control.
Monitor Headphones Output
The Monitor Headphones Output is used primarily by the recording/mixing engineer for mix
referencing or silent monitoring using headphones.. The Monitor Headphone Output reflects
exactly what is being sent out of the Speaker Outputs (A or B) and is designed to be used
instead of the speakers and not simultaneously with the Speaker Outputs.
The Monitor Headphones Output does not feature its own dedicated headphone level control
and instead uses a custom-designed fixed-level, high-power, and low-noise headphone
amplifier that is controlled in level by using the Monitor Level control.
Note:
When silent headphone monitoring is required, mute the speakers using the
dedicated Mute key and adjust the Monitor Level control to get the headphones to
the desired level. Once the headphone referencing is complete, reduce the Monitor
Level control, disengage the Mute key, and adjust the Monitor Level to taste.
