NOTE
It is possible to assign the same option to more than
one of the monitor selection keys.
The
Follow LINK Setting
also affects what is output
from the control room outputs. If a mono source
which has been stereo linked (that is, an individual
aux or buss) is selected, and the checkbox here is
checked, the source will be stereo linked to its “part-
ner” in the monitoring.
In this case, the odd-numbered aux or buss will be
output from the left channel, and the even-numbered
aux or buss from the right channel.
2-track input
Because of the analog nature of the
2TR IN
inputs,
the following should be noted when monitoring from
this source:
• Dimming when monitoring this signal is fixed at a
level of –30dB relative to normal and cannot be
changed.
• If the control room output is set to one of the
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
(
1
or
2
) as explained earlier
(“Control room outputs” on page 73), it is not pos-
sible to monitor the 2-track source
• In addition, even though the studio output is an
analog output, if the control room monitoring sys-
tem is set up to use a digital output, it is not possi-
ble to monitor the 2-track inputs through the studio
system when echoing the control room outputs to
the studio (see below, “Studio monitoring” on
page 74).
Studio monitoring
The studio monitoring can be selected to follow the
control room monitoring selection or to be indepen-
dent of the control room monitoring using the same
screen as the control room setup (above).
To make the studio outputs follow the control room
sources:
On the main monitoring page (soft key 2) move the
cursor to the
From CONTROL ROOM
“radio button” and
press
ENTER
. When this is selected, whatever is
selected for the control room output will also be out-
put from the studio monitoring outputs.
To set a different source for the studio, move the cur-
sor to the output select “radio button” and press
ENTER
to select the monitoring source displayed to
the right of the radio button.
After this, move the cursor to the right and use the
dial to select from the list:
Stereo
,
Buss 1-2
,
Buss 3-4
,
Buss 5-6
,
Buss 7-8
,

Aux 5-6
,
Digital In 1
,

,

. Press
ENTER
to confirm the
selection.
A pair of aux sends makes a good choice for the stu-
dio source, as these can be individually adjusted pre-
fader, and a completely separate studio mix can be
built up in this way.
