1 MONITOR OUTPUTS
The Monitor LEFT and RIGHT outputs are sent from the 3-pole ‘A’ gauge jacks sockets as balanced
signals.
2 MONITOR LEVEL
This control sets the level to the MONITOR LEFT & RIGHT outputs.
3 MONO (CHK)
This switch when activated performs a mono sum of the monitor signal so that you can check how
your stereo signal would be heard in mono.
4 MIX OUTPUTS
The Monitor LEFT and RIGHT outputs are sent from the 3-pole ‘A’ gauge jacks sockets as balanced
signals.
5 MIX LEVEL
The MIX level control is used to set the final level of the MIX outputs. These should normally be set
close to the ‘0’ mark if the input GAIN settings have been correctly set, to give maximum resolution
for the overall signal to noise ratio.
6 MONITOR MIX
Pressing this switch will allow you to hear all the signals sent to the MIX bus.
7 BARGRAPH METERS
The three-colour peak reading BARGRAPH METERS show the level of the MONITOR RIGHT and
MONITOR LEFT outputs, giving you a constant warning of excessive peaks in the signal which might
cause overloading.
Aim to keep the signal within the white segments at peak levels for best performance. If the top
segment lights RED then you have reached a point where the signal will clip and begin distorting,
reduce the input level accordingly.
Similarly, if the output level is too low and hardly registering at all on the meters, the level of
background noise may become significant. Take care to set up the input levels for best performance.
When any MONITOR switch is pressed, the meters switch to show the selected MONITOR signal on
both meters, in true stereo.
8 POWER INDICATOR
This LED lights to show when power is connected to the console.
9 LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
This LED will flash red to show when the batteries have reached a dangerously low level and
should be replaced by fresh batteries, or mains power as soon as possible.
