Quick Start

3-4 Module D, Monitoring

There are several ways to listen to sources on the DA7. This section describes
the

MONITOR A (CR) selections. The DA7’s operator/engineer will usually

monitor from the control room(CR). We assume that an amplifier is already
connected to the speakers.

Connect the output _ Connect the

MONITOR A OUT to the amplifier.

Select the output _ Press the

L/R LED button (green) in the MONITOR

A section to route the MASTER L/R to MONITOR A.

Adjust the

MASTER L/R Fader Strip _ Press the ON button for the

MASTER L/R Fader Strip, and raise the fader to set the level.

Adjust the gain _ Turn the

MONITOR A LEVEL knob clockwise to

increase the volume.

Select

2TR B in the MONITOR A selections _ Plug a source, such as an

analog tape deck, into the

2TR B IN (ANALOG) connectors on the Rear

Panel. This bypasses the mix bus of the DA7 and routes the signal
directly to the Control Room monitors.

In conjuction with the digital send and return examples in the preceding
Module C:

Listen to the tape playback _ Turn on the

AUX RTN 1 and 2 Channel

Strips, assign an output, and raise the faders to hear the tape signal.

Select

AUX in the MONITOR A selections _ This permits monitoring of

aux sends

1/2, 3/4, or 5/6. The selected auxes will appear in the

MEMORY readout momentarily when the MONITOR A AUX LED button
is pressed. Press the

AUX button to cycle through them.

Choose

MONO from the MONITOR A selections _ This will sum any of

the sources selected in the

MONITOR A area (except 2TR B). This is

useful to check for out of phase signals. It will not affect the signal being
output to the

L/R bus.

When using the optional meter bridge, the

MONITOR A /

MASTER L/R meter will not respond to a signal from 2TR B.
This is because it is an analog signal, and the meter can only
display a digital signal.
