Control Room Monitoring System
Monitor Selection and Control
The large knob in the MONITOR LEVEL group of controls on the SL952 panel (see
opposite) sets the level of the main control room monitors. The control room monitors
are usually fed from the console’s main outputs but alternative sources may be
selected by the EXT 1 or EXT 2 buttons fitted in the MONITOR MODE group of
switches. These buttons allows any one of the sources on the two 11-way EXTERNAL
MONITOR selectors (see over the page), to be monitored.
DIM – The DIM button dims both Main and Mini loudspeaker outputs to a level
preset by the DIM LEVEL pot. The DIM circuit is automatically activated when any of
the following buttons are pressed: LISTEN MIC, FOLDBACK A, B or C, SLS, Oscillator
to MIX, ABCD or BUSSES 1-48.
CUT – Cuts whichever pair of monitors have been selected. Activated automatically
by the SLATE button.
The four main monitor outputs can be muted individually with the LEFT, CENTRE,
RIGHT and SURR Monitor Cut switches.
The rest of the MONITOR MODE group of switches act as follows:
2 CH – Selects only the Left and Right bus signals to the monitor outputs. If the
console is fitted with the LCR pan option, 2 CH will also switch the channel pan pots
to two channel pan mode.
4 CH – Feeds Left, Right, Centre and Surround signals to their respective monitor
outputs. If the console is fitted with the LCR pan option, 4 CH will also switch the
channel pan pots to LCR pan mode.
MONO – Feeds a mono sum of the main bus to Left and Right monitor outputs in 2
CH mode, or to Centre in 4 CH mode.
MINI A and MINI B – When selected, the monitor bus is fed to the corresponding
Mini Loudspeaker output via the MINI LS pot.
