Monitoring
The standard stereo monitoring system is used when there are no Film paths in the current Desk Setup or when
the Surround Sound Panel is switched off. The monitoring system provides control for 3 pairs of control room
loudspeakers, a pair of studio loudspeakers and a headphone output. There are three monitor panels and a
common selector panel.
The monitoring system uses a set of special System Paths called SELs and LISTENs. There can be up to 6 SELs
and up to 2 LISTENs. The path names for the SELs are SEL1 through SEL6. The path names for the LISTENs are
LS1 and LS2 (this should not be confused with the two sets of small loudspeakers, L/S1 and L/S2).
The Monitoring Schematic shows how the SEL and LISTEN paths are used. The distinction between a SEL and a
LISTEN is that the source for a SEL is chosen from the SELECT panel. The sources for LS1 and LS2 are fixed to the
AFL and PFL busses respectively.
Switch Between Surround and Standard Monitoring
The alpha display in the SELECT Panel shows which monitoring system is active. It displays SURROUND when
the Surround Monitoring system is active, or STEREO when the Standard Monitoring system is active.
ä
To switch between surround and standard monitoring , press the STEREO key on the surround panel above
the TRIM- key.
The LED in the key will illuminate when stereo monitoring is active.

SELS
The number of SELs set in Desk Edit will affect the availability of
monitoring output facilities. E.g. If 5 SELs are configured then the
second VU Meter selector on the optional Meter Bridge will not
operate and no signals will be metered by those VU Meters.
