B. MONO VS STEREO
Typical listening areas in a whole-house system use two stereo speakers. In many instances,
however, one mono speaker is present, or two speakers are installed in a way in which true
stereo separation cannot exist. Mono configuration will sound better when speakers are installed
in areas that do not have a defined central listening area -- L shaped rooms, outdoor areas,
kitchens, bathrooms, or hallways, for example. Creative use of mono zones can enhance the
design flexibility and sound quality of a well-designed distributed audio system. The D1200 has
internally configuarable mono settings for each audio bus (BUS A and BUS B).
C. MONO BUS MODES
A 'Summed Mono' configuration can be derived from plugging both Left and Right RCA cables
from a stereo source into both Left and Right inputs of BUS A or BUS B. When BUS A MONO
(or BUS B MONO) is selected for a particular channel, both Left and Right speaker outputs will
play an identical mono signal. This effectively doubles the number of mono speakers outputs
available without Volume Controls!
