source preset A was selected to be: Input 1
routed to the left monitor output; Input 2
routed to the right monitor output. This
might be a typical audio source coming
from a broadcast tape playback machine,
or a satellite receiver. To cover monitoring
a secondary audio source from the same
playback machine or satellite receiver, the
factory default for input source preset B is:
Input 3 routed to left; input 4 routed to right.
A special mode has been included to allow
an input source preset to be disabled from
operation. To disable an input source
preset, simply have no input source se-
lected for routing to the left or right monitor
output channels. The factory default con-
figuration for input source presets C and D
are disabled.
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 desired
dim level from the four that are available:
10, 15, 20, or 25dB. The factory default is
for a 15dB dim level.
Contact Input 1
Three configuration choices are associated
with contact input 1: Disabled, remote mute
all, and remote bypass. Select the desired
operating configuration. The factory default
for contact input 1 is disabled.
Contact Input 2
Four configuration choices are associated
with contact input 2: Disabled, remote
insert 1, remote insert 2, and remote dim.
Select the desired operating configuration.
The factory default for contact input 2 is
disabled.
Restore Factory Defaults
The restore factory defaults function is
provided primarily for factory use. In this
way a system can be shipped with the
default settings selected. While you are
welcome to use this function, be careful
that your configuration efforts are not
wasted. Specifically, note that restoring
the factory defaults configures the refer-
ence level to minimum level. All the other
parameters are fairly easy to set up, but
resetting the ref level would require getting
out the SPL meter and a calibrated signal
source. This is a hassle you may not need!
