Setting the SPEAKER C/SUB Level
The Control Room VOLUME knob is used to adjust the level of the
SPEAKER C output exclusively. To set the balance between the
SPEAKER A/B, use the input level control on your power amp, pow-
ered monitor or sub woofer amplifier.
MUTE switch
The mute switch provides a convenient way to shut off any and all
of the SPEAKER outputs with a single button push. When the
MUTE switch is engaged, the red LED will illuminate indicating that
there is no signal present at the SPEAKER outputs. While all of the speaker outputs are off when the
MUTE switch is engaged, the HEADPHONE output and EXTERNAL CUE outputs are still active.
Dim switch
The C control offers a useful feature, DIM, allowing you to lower the overall Control Room level with the
press of a single button. When the DIM switch is pressed to the on position, the yellow LED will illumi-
nate and the overall level of any and all of the connected monitors will be lowered by 20dB. This allows
you quickly turn the speaker levels down to talk to someone in the control room or on the phone, with-
out having to shut the speakers completely off.
Mono switch
With C control, it’s easy to check your mixes for mono compatibility thanks to the Mono function. To lis-
ten to your mix in mono, simply press the MONO switch and the yellow LED will illuminate indicating all
the outputs are receiving a mono signal.
SPEAKER A Assign Switch
The speaker A switch can operated in two different ways depending on the position of the Speaker B
switch. If the SPEAKER B switch is not assigned (LED off), then the SPEAKER A switch simply turns
the SPEAKER A output on and off. When the LED is illuminated, the output is active and you will hear
the monitors connected to the SPEAKER A outputs. If the SPEAKER B assign switch is engaged (LED
is illuminated), the SPEAKER A switch will function as an A/B toggle switch selecting between the mon-
itors connected to the SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B outputs.
SPEAKER B Assign Switch
When the SPEAKER B switch is engaged (LED is on), the SPEAKER B outputs can be turned on by
using the SPEAKER A switch to toggle between the SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B outputs. See the
previous section “SPEAKER A Assign Switch” for more information on selecting between SPEAKER A
and SPEAKER B.
Speaker C Assign Switch/SUB
The SPEAKER C/SUB switch is used to turn on the monitors or subwoofer connected to the SPEAKER
C outputs. The SPEAKER C assign switch works independently from the SPEAKER A and/or SPEAK-
ER B switch, so it is an ideal output to use for a subwoofer. Since the SPEAKER C switch works inde-
pendently, you can leave a subwoofer on while listening to either the SPEAKER A or SPEAKER B
monitors, and easily turn it on or off.
