MC3.1 - Monitor Controller
EXTERNAL FOOTSWITCH: An external foot or hand switch can be connected to
allow easier talkback operation. This works in parallel to the front panel switch ( )
so when either are active the talkback will operate.
TALKBACK OUTPUT: A dedicated ¼" mono talkback output jack can be found on
the rear panel, so that, as well as being routed through the headphones, a talkback
signal can be routed to other devices at the engineers discretion. This could usually
be patched into the live-room active monitor speakers for convenience when
recording acoustic ensembles where the performers may not wish or need to wear
headphones. It could also be used as an added channel on a mixing desk to be
patched into a multiple headphone amplifier along with the stereo mix, for example.
The jack also allows for routing into a separate channel of a DAW, or other recording
facility, to allow for information overdubs to be added to a recording.
To connect the mono talkback to a Dual Mono jack use the following cable wiring:
SPEAKER CALIBRATION TRIM CONTROLS
On the underside of the MC3.1 there are seven rotary controls that allow the
individual speaker level calibration of your system. Each speaker output has a
control, including the mono/sub. To alter the speaker level use a small screwdriver
to turn - counter-clockwise turns the speaker level down, and clockwise up.
For the calibration process see the “Monitor Calibration” section of this manual.
Once the system has been calibrated these trims should not be touched.
