Chapter 8: Control Room Monitor Section 57
Alt Monitor in Surround Modes
When ALT Monitor is selected in Surround
Monitor modes, only the Left and Right chan-
nels are routed to the ALT outputs.
About the Monitor Level Controls
The Main and Alt level control circuits are digi-
tally-controlled to ensure that perfect accuracy
is achieved between all sides of multichannel
program material. When turning the Main or
Alt monitor pots quickly, it is possible to jump
from one level setting to another.
To maintain perfect level accuracy from channel
to channel, the digitally-controlled circuit takes
a moment to adjust itself, so use caution when
moving the level control quickly. You may also
hear steps when adjusting the monitor level as
the circuit is changing the gain in fixed incre-
ments. This will be more noticeable with pro-
gram material that has sustained lower frequen-
cies below. This in no way affects the material
that is being recorded or mixed, and is only in
the monitor circuit.
Solo and Mute Controls
The global Mute/Solo switches (LEFT, CENTER,
RIGHT, LS, RS, AND SUB) in the Control Room
Monitor section solo the individual stems of a
Surround mix when the MUTE NOT SOLO
switch is
not lit.
When the MUTE NOT SOLO switch is lit, the
same switches mute their respective stems in a
Surround mix.
The MUTE ALL switch acts as a Control Room
Monitor master mute. The MUTE switch does
not affect the Headphone signal (front-panel
1/4-inch connector), but mutes all other sources
currently selected in the Control Room Monitor
section.
MONO Switch
The MONO switch sums all elements of the
Control Room Monitor mix in mono. This is a
good way to check phase and balance relation-
ships of a mix, and is available in both Stereo
and Surround monitor modes.
The MONO switch does not affect the head-
phones, Slate, or Aux outputs.
MONO and Stereo Mode
Pressing MONO will route mono-sum signals to
the MAIN and ALT outputs.
MONO and Surround Modes
Only the Left and Right channels are affected by
pressing the MONO switch.
