Monitor Output

The Monitor Output runs parallel with the Master Outs and
provides for separate monitoring of the stereo mixdown. SPL’s
Monitor & Talkback Controller MTC 2381 offers all necessary
control functionality for DAW monitoring at this stage.

As with the Master Output, these connections also provide the
two options of functioning either as a direct balanced connec-
tion or with signal routed through transformers (refer to the
“Transformer On” section on page 19).

IMPORTANT: Since Master and Monitor Outs function in parallel,
using a non-balanced connection in one results in both outputs
being unbalanced.

Metering/Signal LEDs channel 1-16

The Signal LEDs indicate a signal presence at the DB 25 inputs
(channels 1-8 and 9-16). For this to function, the Insert toggle
switch must be placed in the middle (OFF) position.

If the insert loop is functioning (Insert toggle switch in the ON
position), then the Signal LEDs indicate input signals at the
Insert Returns (DB 25 connections at Insert Returns 1-8 and
9-16).

The Signal-LEDs illuminate when a signal reaches a level of
-30dB.

Insert

The Insert control is a three position toggle switch that provides
for Off, On and No Mix.

Off:

In this position returns are deactivated. However, despite

the loop being deactivated, a signal will still be present at the mix
buss, Insert Send and Direct Outs.

On:

In the On position (LED indicator illuminated in orange) an

insert return functions as an input.
