AUDIO CONTROL
Activating the MONO AUDIO switch will take all stereo audio and convert it to a mono audio signal sent to
both left and right monitors. Only the monitor signal will be converted to mono. The audio signal going
through the BUSS PROCESSING and to the RECORD OUT will remain stereo.
This feature is useful to check the left/right phase of your stereo mix. It can also be used when tracking mono
signals so that you hear this mono audio coming out both the left and right speakers.
SPEAKER SELECT
The SPEAKER SELECT switches allow you to turn on or off any combination of monitor speakers
connected.
We recommend you have your near-field monitors as A, loudspeakers as B, and subwoofer as SUB although
any combination of speakers can be connected.
Speaker selection is instantaneous and completely silent.
NOTE: If audio is playing while speaker selection is changed, transients may be heard only because selection
was made while the waveform was at any phase other than 0. This is normal and will not harm your speakers.
TRACK CONTROL
The TRACK control allows you to adjust the monitoring level of MIC or
INSTRUMENT signals while tracking those sources.
The 12 o’clock position is an ideal starting level. Rotating the control counter
clockwise will decrease the level. Rotating the control clockwise will increase the
level.
