Chapter 4 Operation Section
Depressing this switch applies a monaural version of the program mix to
the left and right program outputs. This means it is possible to send the
control room or house mix a mono feed while retaining stereo operation
for a set of personal monitors or the headphone feed.
The monitor and headphone outputs are unaffected by the operation of
the Program's Stereo/Mono Select Switch.
This large white pushbutton switch mutes the master program signals to
the 1/4" jacks and XL connectors without affecting the monitor or
headphone outputs.
Signal will remain present at the left/right program meters when the
Program Kill Switch is depressed. When depressed, this switch
illuminates indicating the program signal has been muted.
This controls the overall level to the stereo monitor feed and operates
independent of the Program Master and Headphone Master. Typically,
the monitor outputs would be connected to a stereo power amplifier for
purposes of driving a personal monitoring system.
In situations where the Model SSM is interfaced to, for instance, a large
frame recording console and solo capability desired, then it is
completely acceptable to utilize the solo capable monitor outputs for this
purpose. The integrity of this signal is virtually equivalent to that of the
program output.
In so far as metering the output is concerned (the program meters follow
just the program); as long as the Program Trim (see rear panel) is
adjusted fully clockwise, then the monitor and program levels, given the
same physical adjustment (2,3,4 o'clock etc.), will be equal. Establishing
the monitor output level is simply a matter of matching the program and
monitor master controls.
Depressing this switch applies a monaural version of the program mix to
the left and right monitor outputs. This also includes any stereo
information that has been applied to the Cue, Click, and Aux return
inputs.
The program outputs and headphone outputs are unaffected by the
operation of the Monitor's Stereo/Mono Select Switch.
This large red pushbutton switch mutes the master monitor output
without affecting the program and headphone outputs. When depressed,
this switch illuminates, indicating the monitor signal has been muted.
