Use the four switches in the SOURCE section to select up to four input sources (MIX A and B,
CD/TAPE C and D) for monitoring and recording. If desired, several sources can be activated
at the same time. Subsequently, the signals are mixed. Each active source is indicated by its
switch lighting up.
The two LED displays are for monitoring the output level of the 2-TRACK OUT outputs. They
comprise 6 LEDs each. When the CLIP LED lights up, this indicates that distortion may occur.
In this case, please reduce the levels of the signal sources connected to the input of the
MON800.
A pair of headphones with a 1/4" TRS connector (e.g. BEHRINGER HPS5000) can be connected
to the PHONES jack. This output is wired in parallel with the rear-panel output jack , so
that up to two headphones can be used at the same time.
With the PHONES LEVEL control you can adjust the volume for the two headphones jacks on
the front or rear panel respectively.
+ The volume on the headphones from the front and rear panel jacks cannot be adjusted
separately.
SPK A LEVEL governs the volume level of the SPEAKERS OUT A outputs . SPK B+C
LEVEL allows you to set the volume for outputs B and C simultaneously.
Use the switches A/B/C ON to switch the speakers A, B and C on and off. While mixing it is
advisable to listen to your production over at least two different pairs of speakers, so as to get
an objective impression of your mix. If you wish to switch between different monitoring systems,
press the corresponding switches of the active and of the inactive speaker pair one after the
other. Active speakers are always indicated by their switches lighting up.
With the MUTE switch you can disable all loudspeaker and headphones outputs.
The MONO switch switches all monitor paths to mono. This is useful, in particular, when you
want to check your mix for mono compatibility. Extreme panorama settings and excessive use
of effects, such as chorus, phaser and flanger in the stereo mix can lead to signal cancellations
during playback in mono. Such phase problems can easily be detected with the MONO switch.
