parameters. Numerous LEDs provide
complete status information. The Model
591 supports four input sources and two
output channels.
The Model 591 provides eight buttons for
selection of the input routing. Two buttons
are associated with each of the four main
inputs, allowing the signals to be routed
to the left and right monitor outputs as
desired. No input has priority over any
other. It is perfectly legitimate to have no
input selected for monitoring, or to have
all inputs routed to both the left and right
monitor outputs. This flexibility is provided
to allow users to monitor how their applica-
tion dictates. Note that when inputs are
combined and sent to a monitor output
channel, there is no independent level
control of the individual sources. They
are simply combined (summed).
The input source preset functions allow up
to four pre-configured input routing con-
figurations to be selected at the “touch of
a button.” This allows monitoring configu-
rations that are often selected to be stored
for ready access.
The monitor output level is controlled
either through the use of a large, easy-
to-use rotary control, or by enabling the
preset reference level. For operator con-
venience, the dim function allows the
monitor output level to be reduced by a
fixed dB amount. The mute all function
disables the monitor outputs by activating
the mute relays on the Model 58 Central
Controller. A push-button switch and two
LEDs are used to select the desired moni-
tor output—either A or B.
