Behringer MINIMON MON Ultra-Compact Stereo Monitor Matrix Mixer with Talkback Mic MON800 - Manual (Page 8)

8 MINIMON MON800 User Manual
4. Application Examples
The MINIMON gives you a great number of monitoring options,
which you would otherwise find only in costly mixing consoles .
Therefore, an ideal field of application is to use the MON800 to control
and distribute signals in a recording environment. However, with its
flexibility the MON800 is also the ideal tool for P.A. applications.
4.1 The MINIMON in a recording
environment
A typical example of how to use the MON800 is the computer-based
production of music with additional instrument or voice recordings.
The following illustration shows an example of how to wire the unit in
such an environment.
As a central element of this configuration, the computer is connected
via its audio card to the MIN IN A or B jacks
(22) of the MON800.
Additional sound modules, which are connected to the computer,
for example, via MIDI, can be wired to the remaining inputs
(depending on the respective connecting plugs). Playback devices
(CD, MD, etc.) should be connected to the CD/TAPE IN jacks
(21) .
Connect your main monitor speakers to the SPEAKERS OUT A jacks (18) .
Output B (17) is for a second pair of speakers. Often, smaller systems
are used as secondary speakers, so that it is possible to evaluate a mix
over less powerful systems. A sub-woofer is an ideal complement
to such a pair of speakers and should be connected to output C
(17) ,
since the levels of both outputs can be adjusted simultaneously.
If required, you can also connect a third pair of speakers, ideally with
an adjustable amplifier stage, so that you can set the volume of the
speaker pair C independently of the SPK LEVEL B + C control
(5) .
