LOAD
The DL1500 has its own internal monitoring system allowing you to have a convenient
stereo monitor output or headphone monitor when the system is being used without an
external mixer. In order to achieve this, the special DIGITAL AUDIO OUT must be
connected from the DD1500m using the 9-pin D-sub cable provided. Inside the DL1500
are D-A converters that provide L/R MONITOR output and HEADPHONE output.
LINE OUT
The L/R MONITOR outputs on the DL1500’s rear panel should be connected to a stereo
amplifier or powered speakers. The level of the output is set using the LINE OUT control.
You may select to monitor MIX OUT A or MIX OUT B using the OUT A and OUT B
switches. If no audio is heard when you use the system, check these switches as they
may not be switched on.
HEADPHONE
A normal pair of stereo headphones may be connected to the headphone socket on the
upper rear panel and the level regulated using the HEADPHONE LEVEL control. Again,
the OUT A and OUT B switches select which output you are listening to.
This monitoring is very convenient because it allows you to use the DD1500 with nothing
other than an amp and speaker and/or headphones with tracks being mixed internally
using the DD1500’s mixer. An external mixer is not required making the system extremely
portable and self contained. This makes it ideal for track laying, especially when using the
removable MO disk as a basic editing system can be set up in a small editing room with
nothing more than a DD1500 and a VTR (or film playback machine), a DAT and/or CD for
sourcing audio and a simple stereo audio monitoring system. After the basic editing is
done, the disk can be transferred to the mixing room where it can be put into a system
where all the track outputs are installed for ‘proper’ mixdown using an external mixing
console.
