operaTInG The m906
Okay, you’ve rack mounted your m906, attached the remote control unit, connected the power supply
and have made all of your audio connections. Now the fun begins! The following sections will take you
through the operational details of your m906 monitoring system.

The m906 provides the following analog input sources:
y
5.1 bal balanced 5.1 format input (DB25 connector wired to the Tascam standard pinout)
y
5.1 unbal unbalanced 5.1 format input via RCA connectors.
y
2ch bal 1 balanced stereo input (XLR connectors wired pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold and pin 1 ground)
y
2ch bal 2 balanced stereo input (XLR connectors wired pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold and pin 1 ground)
y
cue balanced stereo input (XLR connectors wired pin 2 hot, pin 3 cold and pin 1 ground)
Pressing the cue switch activates the stereo cue input source for monitoring. The cue inputs on the
rear of the m906 will normally be fed by a stereo pair output from your digital audio workstation or
console that has been setup to provide a cue mix to talent in the studio. The cue input switch allows
you to monitor this cue mix in the control room. Also related to the cue function is the MON > CUE and
Talkback features, which are discussed later in the manual.
To select the desired analog source input, simply press the switch that corresponds to the source you’d
like to monitor. Each time you press a switch to select a new source to monitor, the new source becomes
active and the source switch LED illuminates. The name of the current input will be displayed on line
one of the SYSTEM LCD (screenshot 1). Line two will display DAC status (which is still supplying signal to
the FIXED DAC OUTPUTS). DAC Input source, sample rate and s-Lock status will be displayed.
