Section 5 — The Maestro Configuration Editor
Default Monitor Minimum Level
Choices are:
• Range from -30 dB to -60 dB in 5 dB increments
• Off (default)
This option sets the minimum audio monitor output level. The default is
OFF, but a minimum level can be set so that an operator can be prevented
from turning the monitor speakers all the way off, thereby not listening to
the transmitted program.
Monitor Level Display
Choices are:
• Atten dB (default)
• Absolute dB
This option allows the user to select how the audio monitor level is dis-
played on the control surfaces. The default mode is as an attenuator,
meaning that 0 dB is the loudest possible and that all other levels are dis-
played as -XX.X dB.
Monitor Speaker Configuration
Choices are:
• 2-Channel stereo
• 5.1 Surround with Mono in Center
• 5.1 Surround with Mono in L-R
This option allows the user to select the type of monitor speakers connected
to the Maestro processor. Three different options are provided. The
Maestro processor will automatically map the audio group being moni-
tored to the monitor speaker configuration. In previous versions of the
software, only a stereo pair of speakers was supported. Now, two new
options are provided, 5.1 surround with mono signals presented in the
Center speaker, or 5.1 surround with mono signals presented in the Left-
Right pair of speakers.
The user should select the option that matches their audio monitor
speakers with a preference as to how mono signals are monitored.
