Midas SIENA User Manual

Local Monitoring and Headphone
Outputs
The Siena provides local stereo and mono monitor outputs,
stereo headphone and separate PFL output. Typically, each of
these outputs is provided for the following applications:
Local Monitor L/R Stereo Rear Panel For connection of local stereo loudspeakers.
Local Monitor M Mono Rear Panel For connection of a local mono loudspeaker.
Headphone (Phones) Stereo Arm Rest For connection of stereo headphones.
PFL Out Mono Rear Panel For linking the PFL output of the Siena to another
console.
when running monitors, you may wish to listen to your mono floor monitor feeds on a separate speaker to your
stereo in-ear monitoring so that you know what the artist is hearing from each system. Connect a pair of stereo
speakers to the output and a separate mono speaker to the output. Now solo
the mix bus masters feeding both the in-ear monitoring and floor monitors. Using the mono and stereo local
monitor switches, you will now be able to mute the floor monitor speaker to listen to the stereo in-ear
monitor feed or vice versa.
Do not confuse the output with the connection, as the PFL Out is always active and
does not feature level or mute control. This is because the PFL Out is typically used to connect the PFL bus to a
second console. For example, if the Siena is working with the support band, it may be necessary to feed its PFL
output to the main band's console.
By default, you will be monitoring the AFL bus on the local monitor and headphone outputs. However, you may
choose to monitor the PFL bus for either inputs and/or outputs using the master AFL/PFL selector, see 'The Solo
System' on Page 24 for more details.
