Samson SM10 - Manual (Page 10)

SM10 6
11. Output Meter – This six-segment meter shows the continuous output
level of the Main Mix, MON, EFX, or MIX B, depending on the position of
the SOURCE select switch (see #10). For optimum signal-to-noise ratio,
adjust all levels so that program material is usually at or around 0 VU, with
occasional, but not steady, excursions to the red segments.
12. MON OUT LEVEL – The SM10 provides a second MON output connec-
tor carrying a mono signal of the MON mix. The MON OUT LEVEL control
knob is used to set the volume of the MON OUT jack.
13. MON OUT Jack – The left and right MON mix are summed together to a
monaural signal and sent out this connector. The signal at the MON OUT
jack follows the MON OUT LEVEL (see #12) control knob.
14. HEADPHONE LEVEL – This knob sets the level of the signal sent to the
HEADPHONE jack. To avoid possible damage to connected headphones,
always turn this all the way off (to the fully counterclockwise position)
before plugging in a pair of headphones—then raise the level slowly
while listening.
15. HEADPHONE Jack – Connect standard stereo headphones to this jack
(via a 1/4” TRS plug) for monitoring of the MON, EFX, MIX B and Main
Output buses, depending on the position of the SOURCE select switch
(see #10).
