4.1 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why can’t I hear the talkback microphone?
• Remember, only headphones with a Phones Source of ‘CUE’ can hear the talkback microphone.
• Connect and/or calibrate your talkback microphone according to section 2.1.7.
• Verify your external mic does not require phantom power.
• If you are not using an external microphone, disconnect anything connected to the XLR input.
Why do I see levels on the LED meter but not hear anything through the speakers?
• The LED meter only measures the Monitor Station’s input, so seeing level is only half the battle.
• Connect and calibrate your speakers according to sections 2.1.5 and 2.1.6.
• Ensure the correct Speaker Select button is lit and its Speaker Level Adjust knob is turned up.
• Disengage the Talk, Mono, Mute and Dim buttons. Then slowly turn up the Main Level knob.
• Move your speakers to a different output to verify the outputs are functioning properly.
• Connect the input source directly to your speakers to verify the speakers are functioning properly.
I have everything turned all the way up, but my speakers still aren’t loud enough … what gives?
• The Monitor Station is not an amplifier, so please do not try to use it as one.
• The only inputs with any preamp gain are the Aux/Phono and external microphone inputs.
• The only outputs with any gain are the headphone amplifiers.
Why doesn’t the Main Level knob control the Main Outs?
• Because the Monitor Station was not designed to function that way.
• The Main Outs should be used for devices needing an unaffected signal, such as a CD recorder.
Why won’t the Monitor Station change modes for me?
• Remember, you can only set one mode per power up, so do not try to hold two buttons down.
• You must be holding down the mode-changing button the instant the power switch is flipped on.
• Set the mode according to section 2.3.
