right,฀channels.฀While฀the฀0฀dB฀setting฀is฀
not฀generally฀appropriate฀for฀music฀mixing,฀
it฀may฀find฀use฀in฀broadcast฀and฀cinema฀
applications.฀The฀3฀dB฀and฀4฀dB฀settings฀
are฀good฀choices฀for฀the฀mono-to-center฀
mode฀when฀monitoring฀mixes฀that฀have฀
significant฀phase฀coherence,฀such฀as฀฀
music฀sources.฀The฀6฀dB฀setting฀is฀provid-
ed฀for฀compatibility฀with฀the฀mono฀function฀
found฀on฀many฀audio฀consoles.฀As฀the฀
factory฀default,฀the฀3฀dB฀attenuation฀value฀
was฀selected.
Auto฀5.1฀to฀Stereo฀Downmix
The฀5.1฀to฀stereo฀downmix฀function฀can฀฀
be฀configured฀to฀automatically฀enable฀
whenever฀the฀stereo฀to฀mono฀downmix฀
function฀is฀enabled.฀This฀is฀provided฀to฀
ensure฀accurate฀monitoring฀of฀5.1฀sources฀
when฀stereo฀to฀mono฀downmix฀is฀enabled.฀
This฀is฀the฀default฀mode,฀although฀it฀can฀฀
be฀changed฀as฀desired.
Restore฀Factory฀Defaults
The฀restore฀factory฀defaults฀function฀is฀pro-
vided฀primarily฀for฀factory฀use.฀In฀this฀way฀
a฀system฀can฀be฀shipped฀with฀the฀default฀
settings฀selected.฀While฀you฀are฀welcome฀
to฀use฀this฀function,฀be฀careful฀so฀that฀your฀
configuration฀efforts฀aren’t฀wasted.฀Spe-
cifically,฀be฀aware฀that฀the฀reference฀level฀
is฀reset฀to฀minimum฀level.฀All฀the฀other฀
parameters฀are฀fairly฀easy฀to฀set฀up,฀but฀
resetting฀the฀reference฀level฀would฀require฀
getting฀out฀an฀SPL฀meter฀and฀a฀calibrated฀
signal฀source.฀This฀is฀a฀hassle฀you฀may฀not฀
need!
Infrared฀Transmitter฀
Configuration
To฀support฀the฀infrared฀(IR)฀remote฀฀
talkback฀function฀an฀IR฀transmitter฀฀
module฀must฀be฀obtained฀and฀configured.฀
As฀of฀the฀writing฀of฀this฀user฀guide฀Studio฀
Technologies’฀does฀not฀offer฀such฀a฀device.฀
The฀Model฀75’s฀software฀was฀designed฀to฀
support฀the฀use฀of฀many฀3rd-party฀“univer-
sal”฀remote฀controls.฀Units฀from฀retailer฀Ra-
dioShack®,฀priced฀as฀low฀as฀US$10,฀have฀
been฀used฀successfully.฀For฀a฀talkback฀
command฀to฀be฀recognized฀the฀remote฀
control฀should฀be฀programmed฀to฀emulate฀
an฀RCA฀DVD฀player’s฀play฀command.฀(It’s฀
also฀possible฀that฀a฀setting฀for฀the฀Micro-
soft®฀Xbox®฀will฀also฀work!)฀The฀universal฀
remote฀may฀offer฀several฀choices฀for฀this฀
sequence.฀A฀little฀experimentation฀may฀be฀
required฀so฀that฀a฀compatible฀emulation฀is฀
selected.฀The฀Model฀74฀requires฀a฀baud฀
rate฀of฀650.
