5. Turn up the output level control of your primary audio source until
the Monitor Station V2’s LED meter’s red 0 VU LED lights.
Reality vs. Unity Gain: The master output fader or knob on many audio devices
has a Unity Gain marking that shows the position at which the output’s level
isn’t being raised or lowered and is therefore at its optimal position. This is
usually marked as a “0” setting. If you find that the output setting of your audio
source needs to be way above or below its Unity Gain marking in order to light
the Monitor Station V2’s 0 VU LED, you may need to recalibrate the Monitor
Station V2’s LED meter to better accommodate the device. Adjust the meter’s
range as described in Section 2.1.3, then repeat steps 2-5 in this section.
6. For the audio sources connected to the ST2 and Aux Inputs, repeat
steps 2-5, selecting the appropriate source in step 4. (Ideally,
these devices also need to be able to produce a test tone.)
2.1.5 Connecting Speakers to the Monitor Station V2
1. Zero the Monitor Station V2’s front-panel Main Output Level knob and rear-panel
Speaker A Out trim by turning them fully counterclockwise.
2. Connect your primary monitoring system (such as a pair of powered nearfield
reference monitors) to the Monitor Station V2’s A L/R Speaker outputs.
3. If you have a second set of monitors, connect them to the Monitor Station V2’s B
L/R Speaker outputs.
4. If you have a third pair of monitors or a subwoofer, connect them to the Monitor
Station V2’s C L/R Speaker outputs.
Note: If using a subwoofer, make sure the Monitor Station V2 is set to Combo mode or
Toggle A/B mode, as described in Section 2.3.1.
