m906. The system also provides the ability to edit each channel’s level setting within each of the speaker
output sets. As an example, you may have a 5.1 configured set of amps/speakers currently being driven
from speaker output set #2 that includes surround monitors that have a different input sensitivity than
the rest of the speakers. This CAL mode feature allows you to change these so they match the rest of the
system. The relative range of calibration is +/- 10dB in 0.5dB steps. Here’s how you do it:
1. Enter CAL mode by pressing the CAL switch. The switch LED will begin to flash, indicating that you’re now in
calibration mode. All other switch LEDs on the remote control unit will be unlit. If you inadvertently entered CAL
mode, simply press the CAL switch again. You’ll be returned to the normal operating state of the m906 and the CAL
switch LED will extinguish.
2. Press the SPKR SEL switch. The last speaker output set that was active prior to entering CAL mode will be indicated
by flashing its LED and will be named in the LCD window (screenshot 9). If you’d like to calibrate channels associated
with the other speaker set output, simply press the SPKR SEL switch again to cycle to that choice.

3. Now press any of the channel solo/mute switches to belonging to the individual speaker channel you want to
modify. Its switch LED will begin to flash. You can select another channel to edit at any time simply by pressing its
associated switch.
4. “CAL” will be displayed in the headphone level LED display while the current channel offset level will be shown in the
‘main level/edit’ LED window. A value of “0” indicates that there is no offset level currently programmed.
5. Rotate the ‘main level/edit’ rotary encoder in a clockwise direction to increase the value of level offset. Rotate the
encoder in a counter-clockwise motion to decrease the value.
6. Once you’re satisfied with the new offset value, you can select another channel for editing, select a new function to
edit or exit CAL mode. Alternatively, you can press the switch belonging to the channel last edited, which will send
you back to global speaker output edit mode.
7. Exit CAL mode and return to the normal operating state by pressing the flashing CAL switch.

The stereo cue outputs are normally fed from the stereo cue inputs and routed out to talent in the studio
for cue mix monitoring. These cue outputs are fixed in level, but like the speaker set outputs outlined
above, these levels can be calibrated. The relative gain range is from 0 to 100dB where “100” is unity gain.
Note that m906 factory default cue setting is 100. Here’s how you change this value:
1. Enter CAL mode by pressing the CAL switch. The switch LED will begin to flash, indicating that you’re now in
calibration mode. All other switch LEDs on the remote control unit will be unlit. If you inadvertently entered CAL
mode, simply press the CAL switch again. You’ll be returned to the normal operating state of the m906 and the CAL
switch LED will extinguish.
2. Press the MON > CUE switch. The switch LED will begin to flash.
3. “CAL” will be displayed in the headphone level LED display while the current cue output levels will be shown in the
‘main level/edit’ LED window. Cue Output Level will be displayed in the LCD window (screenshot 10).
