Monitor Section
The Monitor section provides the following
control room monitoring features:
Alternate Input Routing Controls
Aux In to 7/8 Switch This switch routes the Aux
In input pair directly to Inputs 7 and 8 of
Pro Tools, and does not send it to the Main
Monitor Outputs. This lets you route an alter-
nate input signal (such as a CD player) directly
into Pro Tools without the need to repatch any
cables.
When Aux In to 7/8 is enabled (lit), Analog In-
puts 7–8 are disabled.
3/4-HP2 Switch This switch sets the Headphone
2 Output to mirror Output pair 3–4.
Aux In (to Monitor) Switch This switch routes
the Aux In input pair directly to the Main Mon-
itor and Headphone Outputs.
Alt CR (Control Room) Switch This switch mutes
the Main Monitor output and routes the signal
to the Alt Monitor output.
Mono Switch This switch temporarily combines
Output 1–2 in the Main and Alt Monitor Out-
puts and the Headphone Outputs. This is help-
ful for checking the phase relationships of stereo
material.
Monitor and Headphone Level Controls
Monitor Level Control These knobs control the
volume of the Main and Alt Monitor Outputs.
These outputs mirror Analog Outputs1–2, which
correspond to outputs 1–2 in Pro Tools.
Headphone 1 and 2 Level Controls These knobs
control the volume of the independent Head-
phone Outputs. The Headphone Outputs nor-
mally mirror outputs 1–2 in Pro Tools, and are
independent of the Monitor Outputs.
Headphone 2 mirrors output pair 3–4 when the
3/4-HP2 switch is enabled (lit). Both head-
phones include Aux In signal when Aux In (to
monitor) is enabled.
Headphone output is not affected by the status
of the Monitor Mute switch, but does follow sta-
tus of the Mono switch.
Monitor Mute Switch This switch mutes the
Main and Alt Monitor Outputs only, and has no
effect on the Headphone Outputs. Monitor
Mute is automatically engaged when you power
up the unit.
Headphone Jacks
Headphone Output 1 and 2 jacks accept stan-
dard 1/4-inch stereo headphone connectors.
The jacks are located on the front of the 003.
