Audio Modiers
The audio modiers are controlled using the 6 white
illuminated buttons on the front panel. Each of the
modiers is operated via an illuminated pushbutton
switch, with each press of the button toggling the
modier from on to o or vice-versa.
When using the audio modiers in combination, it
is necessary to consider the order in which they are
applied since that will aect the results.
The modiers are applied in the following order
(rst > last):
Phase invert > Mono > S+D > Dim > Cut L/R
When mains power is removed, the status of the audio modiers is stored in non-volatile
memory and recalled instantly once power is restored.
DIM Audio Modier
When on, the DIM button is illuminated and the loudspeaker volume level is reduced
by 10dB.
The DIM modier may also be activated by an external signal applied to the rear panel
remote control port and the DIM button illuminates when such an external signal is active.
The DIM modier, unlike the other modiers, has no eect on the meter readings since it is
treated simply as a volume adjustment.
CUT L & CUT R Audio Modiers
When on, the CUT L and CUT buttons are illuminated and the corresponding channel of the
selected audio source is muted.
The CUT L and CUT R modiers may also be simultaneously activated by an external signal
applied to the rear panel remote control port. Both CUT buttons will illuminate when such
an external signal is active.
The CUT modiers will aect the loudspeaker audio, line-level audio outputs, phase meter
reading and also, by default, the main meter readings (refer to the Main Meters section of
this manual).
MONO Audio Modier
When on, the MONO button is illuminated and the left and right channels of the currently
selected stereo audio source are summed into a monophonic signal prior to further
processing and reproduction. Scaling is such that a stereo signal measuring 0dBu on both
channels will generate a mono signal measuring 0dBu on both channels.
The MONO modier will aect the loudspeaker audio, line-level audio outputs, phase
meter reading and also, by default, the main meter readings (refer to the Main Meters
section of this manual).
