read this first
before using the monotor
There is lots more in this manual, but please read this even if you don't read man-
uals... Thanks!
The external power supply for the MONOTOR must be the 16 volt 0.3 amp dc
regulated bipolar unit supplied with it. If it says INPHASE engineering it is our
new custom made for audio switcher and you don’t need to worry about voltages
in other countries. If it says Advanced Power Solutions it is a linear supply and it
MUST BE SWITCHED TO THE PROPER VOLTAGE for the country using it.
If you don’t change the voltage (this is obvious to some of you) and it is set for 110
volts and you plug it in to 220 volts it will BLOW UP the supply, and possibly dam-
age the MONOTOR. If you set it for 220 volts and you plug it in to 110 volts, the
performance of the MONOTOR will be severely degraded. Blowing up the supply
this way, is not covered by warranty.
The dc power connector jack used on the MONOTOR looks like a CB microphone
connector. Although difficult to misalign because it is keyed, take care to align the
plug and jack properly when inserting.
The 3.5 mini jack sums what is plugged into it with the signal from the main trs/
xlr jacks but after the MONOTORs level potentiometer and mono functions.
So the volume when using this 3.5 mm jack will be controlled by what is feeding it
(e.g., iPod, phone).
Do not place the MONOTOR in close proximity to a wi-fi router, the high gain
although well shielded MONOTOR will pick up the wi-fi “chirps.” Wi-fi routers
have no place near any hi-end audio gear.
The Monotor is vulnerable to failure by extreme static discharge. In dry envi-
ronments prone to static, use de-stat on carpets and discharge yourself before
touching and placing headphones on head. Metal body headphones and planar
magnetic phones are particularly strong static magnets.
The trs/xlr and trs jacks on the MONOTOR are balanced, but the source can be
balanced or unbalanced. For rca plugs you will need a ts (tip-sleeve) to rca adapter,
or a cable made for the purpose. The adapter will connect the ring of the jack
to the sleeve. If making an rca to trs cable, tie the ring and sleeve of the trs to
ground and shield, with the tip hot. If making an rca to xlr cable, tie pins one and
three together of the male xlr, with pin 2 hot.
