Monitor amp & Speakers
STEP 4- MONITOR SPEAKER CONNECTION
The console has a low level monitor audio output that is designed to connect to an external audio power amplifier. The console output will not directly drive
speakers.
Connect the audio amplifier input to the console Monitor Output on the back panel of the console. The monitor output of the console is unbalanced, consumer
level and will use an RCA cable (usually supplied with the amplifier). Follow the amplifier’s instructions and connect speakers to the amplifier.
Turn the console power on and the amplifier power on. On the console, the Monitor Selector switch should be off (assigned to the Program bus) and set the
Monitor Volume control to 1/2. Set the audio power amplifier level and front panel switches per the amplifier instruction manual.
WARNING- do NOT have all levels controls at maximum. Too much audio level through your speakers can damage the speakers.
There should be an audio source (such as CD player) connected to the console as described in Steps 1,2, & 3. Turn the console source channel on and play a
song. The VU meters should move with the audio and audio should be present at the headphone jack at the back of the console. Be certain that any mic channel is
turned off because it will mute the audio out of the speakers so that there is no feedback. Audio should now be audible through the monitor speakers.
TEST- The audio through the monitor speakers should be clear and without significant noise or hum.
