CONTROL ROOM
MONITORING
The Control Room Monitoring
system is one of the most used
systems in a studio. Typically there
are several sets of loudspeakers
with a main pair and one or
more alternate pairs. These are
sometimes referred to as Near, Far
and Mid field monitors depending
on their proximity to the listening
position.
The ASP4816 provides for 4 pairs
of loudspeakers, a MAIN pair and
ALTERNATE 1, 2 and 3. Source
selection is made from either the
MIX or DAW, EXT 1 and 2.
Each loudspeaker pair has its own
level control. The control for the
main pair is larger than the controls
for the alternate monitors. The
level controls are independent of
each other.
Associated with the main
loudspeakers are some further
controls allowing the left and
right outputs to be independently
or simultaneously CUT, the
monitoring system to be placed in
MONO mode, or for the output to
be dimmed by a preset amount.
