Monitor Options
A wide range of monitor options are available via the soft keys and associated display on the monitor panel.
Pressing the
MONITOR OPTIONS
button above the display produces the following choices; press the button
below an entry to select that option.
INS
– Switches the encoder/decoder insert into the monitor path for use with 5.1 monitor sources selected via
the EXT B monitor selector.
PFM
– Routes the PFL signal to the Mini A or B loudspeakers. In this mode, PFL level is controlled by the
PFL
level control only – the Main and Mini monitor level controls have no effect.
SRA
– Both sets of Main speaker outputs are capable of handling six channels. If you are mixing in 5.1 and the
client turns up with an alternative set of ‘front’ (LCR) speakers only, the surround feeds may be locked to the
Main 5.1 (Main A) outputs by selecting the
SRA
(‘Surround on A’) function. This allows you to switch to the
alternative LCR speakers, connected to the
ALT 5.1
(Main B) output, and still maintain full surround monitoring.
A further option (
A2B
– see next page) enables the subwoofer output to be included in this arrangement.
LRA
– Similar to the
SRA
function except that the LCR monitor feeds are locked to the Main A outputs but an
alternative set of surround speakers may be selected by switching to the Main B output. This can be useful in
rooms that work on both music, using full bandwidth separate surround speakers, and film using multiple lower
powered surround speakers.
Bass Management
BASS
– Selecting this option produces a further layer of bass management options (see next page for options
held under
CAL
):
80H
– Inserts a 7th order, 80Hz, low pass filter into the LFE monitor bus, to deal with listening to 5.1 material
that has a full range, unfiltered, LFE channel.
