Quick Start Guide
1.
Install an Input Module
Ensure at least one input module is installed in the AR-DM1 audio monitor. If no modules are installed, see
Module
Installation (page 15)
for detailed instructions.
2.
Connect an Audio Source
Connect an audio source to the audio monitor. Depending on the chosen input module, the signal could be SDI
video with embedded audio, AES/EBU digital audio, analog audio, etc. Some modules may require a breakout
cable for the appropriate connections. See module specifications for details.
3.
Power On the Audio Monitor
Supply power to the audio monitor by connecting the included power supply to an AC power source (100-240 V @
50/60 Hz) and connecting the power supply’s 4-pin XLR connector to the back of the audio monitor. The Power LED
on the front panel will illuminate green.
4. Select an Input Module
Using the
SRC
switch on the front panel, choose the module location (1-4) to which the input is connected (Modules
are identified as numbers 1-4, with location no.1 on the far left if facing the rear of the audio monitor). The channel
presence LEDs will then immediately show which channels have an audio signal present. You may not hear audio
as yet.
5. Choose a Monitor Mode
To hear one audio channel at a time, press the
Single
button. To hear a stereo pair of channels, press the
Pair
button. Use the
Left
and
Right
buttons to switch channels or channel pairs. The LEDs under each channel will
indicate which channels are selected. To hear channels 9-16, press the
9-16
button.
6. Adjust the Volume and Balance
Use the
Volume
and
Balance
controls to adjust the sound level and stereo balance.
