for Surround
2. Place the StudioComm for Surround
system in the normal operating mode,
not the configuration mode. Be certain
that the reference, mute all, dim, and
insert functions are not active.
3. Use the Model 59 Control Console
to select the reference signal source,
e.g., pink noise, as the active input
source.
4. Observing the SPL meter, adjust the
Model 59’s rotary level control until the
desired reference level has been
reached.
5. Being careful not to touch the position
of the rotary level control, enter the
configuration mode by pressing and
holding the configure button, located
on the Model 59’s back panel.
6. Once the configuration mode has been
entered, the monitor output signal will
mute. Press and hold the reference
button until its associated LED lights.
This will take 5 seconds. The LED
lights to indicate that a “snapshot”
of the new reference level has been
taken.
7. To store the new reference level in
memory, exit the configuration mode
by again pressing and holding the
configure button.
This level is now permanently stored as
the reference level. Only by repeating the
procedure can the value be changed.
Once the configuration mode has been
exited, the monitor output will again be-
come active. Confirm that the correct level
has been stored by pressing the reference
button. The SPL meter should again
display the desired level. If not, repeat the
calibration process.
You might wonder why you have to press
and hold the reference button for 5 sec-
onds before the value is stored. This is
provided specifically so that some Bozo
won’t accidentally change the ref level
while they are playing around in the con-
figuration mode! You have to know the
“secret” to be able to store a new value.
Dim Level
The dim function is used to reduce the
monitor output level by a preset amount.
The reduction is in dB relative to the moni-
tor output’s current level. Select the de-
sired dim level from the four that are
available: 10, 15, 20, or 25dB.
Contact Input 1
Three configuration choices are associ-
ated with contact input 1: Disabled, remote
mute all, and remote dim. Select the
desired operating configuration.
Contact Input 2
Four configuration choices are associated
with contact input 2: Disabled, remote
insert 1, remote insert 2, and remote
bypass. Select the desired operating
configuration.
Remote Level Control
Two configuration choices are associated
with the remote level control function:
Disabled and enabled. To utilize the func-
tion, simply configure it for enabled.
Warning: It is imperative that the
wiring of the remote level control be
carefully implemented before the
function is enabled. To not do so
risks damage to the monitor loud-
speakers and, more importantly, the
ears of listeners.
