2.5.2. Headphone monitoring
The headphone can be plugged into a stereo mini-jack socket (
18 ). By clicking and
vertically moving the joystick (
10 ), the monitor mode can be selected among the
following:
x L/R : Normal stereo listening ;
x L/L: left signal on both ears ;
x R/R: right signal on both ears ;
x L+R : mono sum (L+R) on both ears;
(useful for mono compatibility and phase coherence checking)
x M+S : M+S sum (normally left signal) on both ears ;
x M-S : M-S sum (normally right signal) on both ears ;
x M/S: listening of encoded signals (sum and difference)
The L/RlM/S matrixing is used for example to listen a conventional stereo signal
(L/R) when monitoring M/S microphones, or when monitoring outputs that have
been M/S encoded.
Alternatively, when the mixer is operated in normal stereo mode, encoding the
signals for monitoring can be used to check the stereo correlation, by comparing the
relative amplitude of the M and S signals.
2.6. Digital outputs
MIXY delivers 24-bit stereo digital outputs; it is possible (via the menu) to select
either a “Pro” mode or “Consumer” mode, depending on the type of equipment the
signals are fed to. It is also possible to select the sampling rate, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
A balanced and transformer isolated AES output (110 Ohm impedance) is available
on the “Dig. Out” socket (
19 , Hirose HR10).
The same signal is available in optical format on the “Toslink” output, on the rear
panel.
