Dual amplifiers
The front of the monotor has four headphone output jacks (two 1/4”
two 3.5mm). The two jacks to the left are fed by one stereo amp and
the two jacks to the right are fed by a separate stereo amp. For the best
performance use one set of phones per stereo amp output. But if you
need to use all four, you will not damage the monotor and performance
difference is minor for utility use. We use a single volume potentiome-
ter so when doing serious monitoring with a partner, as in listening on
speakers in a room, you will, if wearing the same headphones, be hearing
the exact same high resolution signal.
Little Holes
The little holes on either side of the level potentiometer conceal a push
switch set back about an inch. The left switch pushed in bypasses the
left side of the level potentiometer, the right, the right side of the level
potentiometer. These can be used for a variety of scenarios, but the most
common is when using the monotor with a high quality digital to analog
converter that has a built in level control (like the Oppo 105 and some
others). The highest quality level pot is no level pot, and there is no point
in being redundant.
A more utilitarian scenario is to feed the MONOTOR with it in the
mono L+R mode selected, and a cue mix from the console feeding the
left channel and the artists mic or instrument feeding the right channel.
Then on the left channel bypass the level control, so you control that lev-
el from your console, and the artist can use the level on the MONOTOR
for a simple more me or less me volume control.
The level control is a great thing to have in certain type installations, and
can add another piece in the puzzle to screw things up in other installa-
