Source Select Switches
The bank of source select switches in the center of the L8‑CR module
selects the audio signal sent to the speakers and the headphones. This bank
includes dedicated switches for selecting PGM (program), AUD (audition),
AUX (auxiliary), or UTIL (utility), and a programmable EXT source. Simply
press the desired switch to listen to that output bus or external source signal.
The button will be lit when the monitor is assigned to its respective bus, and the
bottom display will show the source name. Adjust the volume of the head‑
phones and speakers by rotating the HDPN and CONTROL RM level con
‑
trols respectively.
Programming External Source Switch
The external switch may be programmed to select any allowed source in
the system. Press and hold the EXT/SET button until it begins to flash, then
rotate the FUNCTION knob until the desired source appears in the module’s
top display, then press TAKE (which is also lit) to finish programming the
button.
Depending on how the L‑8 is configured, you may be able to select any
source in the system or you may have a limited choice of sources for the
external switches.
CONTROL RM Level Control
The CONTROL RM level control determines the overall loudness of the
signal being monitored (PGM, AUD, AUX, UTIL, or EXT) as it appears in
the Control Room speakers. As the control is turned clockwise, the loudness
increases. To decrease the loudness, turn the control in a counterclockwise
direction.
The bottom display shows the source name and location of the monitored
source, and two horizontal lines. The bottom line indicates the volume level
for the control room speaker.
The L‑8 may be configured so that this level control has no effect by
locking the Control Room outputs on the Monitor Config tab of the
Wheatnet
IP L8 Setup Tool
GUI.
NOTE: If the Control Room is muted and you turn the level control all
the way up, then remove the condition that has the Control Room muted,
the sound in the Control Room speakers will suddenly be VERY LOUD!
HEADPHONE Level Control
The HDPN level control determines the overall loudness of the headphone
output signal, which monitors the same source (PGM, AUD, AUX, UTIL,
or EXT) as the Control Room speakers.
The headphone output signal appears at the HEADPHONE JACK, located
on the right side of the control surface. The jack is provided as a place to
plug in user‑supplied
stereo
headphones having an impedance of
60 Ohms
or higher
.
