Introduction

MONITOR SETUP

To customize the monitor setup of the DA7, access the

[SOLO/MON] window

by pressing the

SOLO MONITOR button on the Top Panel.

The

[MON A] area function mutes the MONITOR A speakers 20dB. When

selected, the

button will appear in inverse video, and the speakers will

remain dimmed until the

button is deactivated. The

function can

be accessed from the Top Panel by pressing the

MMC/CURSOR button and

SOLO MONITOR button simultaneously.

SOLO is set to [IN PLACE] and [SOLO] in the factory default. This allows
you to only

SOLO one channel at a time, post-fader and post-pan. In a mix

situation you may want the

[SOLO MONITOR][POSITION] area set to [IN

PLACE], which is post-fader and post-pan, and the [SOLO MONITOR]
[MODE] area set to [MIX], which allows multiple channels to be solo’d.

SOLO MUTE returns the monitor to normal, but leaves the selections of
solo’d channels intact. When

SOLO MUTE is cleared, monitoring returns to

the previously selected

SOLO channels.

The

[SURROUND MONITOR] area mode selection is important too. When

the

[SURROUND MONITOR] is in the [AUX] mode, it will send the

surround bus 1 and 2 signals through

MONITOR A L/R, while aux sends 3

through 6 route the surround bus 3 through 6 signals. In the

[MON] mode,

the surround signal path uses the

MONITOR A L/R, MONITOR B L/R, and

MASTER L/R outputs. If the [MON] mode is active, when trying to listen to
another source in the system that is not assigned to the

[SURROUND

MONITOR], you will find nothing coming out of the monitor speakers. The
same condition could occur by selecting

[SURR] for a channel in the

[CHANNEL] window [ASSIGN] area.
