LED. The headphone selection can be set up to intercancel with the other monitor selection switches (see
Appendix B - Setup Functions), however the level control is independent of the large MONITOR LEVEL
control in the MONITOR LEVELS section, but the output does follow the monitor CUT switch.
ALT3 output is also paralleled to a DB-25 connector on the rear of the console. It is therefore available as an
additional monitor output with independent level control (same pot as the headphone level).
MONITOR LEVELS
This section contains the main MONITOR LEVEL control plus additional level, mute and polarity switching.
The large MONITOR LEVEL pot is a precision audio taper pot that is calibrated from 0 to
11 (rst featured on an SL 4000 G-Series console supplied to Rhino Studios, Sydney in the
1980's and inspired by mythical guitarist Nigel Tufnel's custom ampliers). This level control
is the master level control for the MAIN, ALT MON 1 and ALT MON 2 monitor selections. Underneath the control
are switches for CUT and DIM. The CUT mutes the monitor outputs, the DIM control reduces the output of the
monitor output by an amount between -3dB and -30dB as determined by the DIM LEVEL control higher up in this section.
Above the large level control are MUTE L and MUTE R switches to independently cut the output of the left and right monitors
respectively. A large MONO switch mono's the L and R output to the monitors and reduces the level by 3dB to give a perceived
equal loudness when this is selected. The remaining controls in this section are trim levels for ALT MON 1 and ALT MON 2. These
allow additional monitors to trimmed to match the level of the main monitors to allow useful comparisons of a mix on the different
monitor sets.
