Headphone Monitoring
The front-panel headphone jack will accommodate either
low- or high-impedance stereo headphones with a 3.5mm
plug. When you plug headphones in, the display automati-
cally opens the
Headphone Volume
screen where the slider
will adjust the listening level. After you set

in the monitor path when pre-emphasis is turned on. Other
monitoring options are the three ‘raw’ program inputs to
the NOVIA 236. This allows you to preview the incoming,

P.D., has developed his
own version of our fac-
tory
(F) Country
preset,
and has renamed it
Country-2 (Bob’s)
. All processing parame-
ters are saved in each preset, and presets are saved along
