Volume control

This is used to adjust the headphones volume and the monitor output volume.

Whether the headphones output and monitor output volumes are to be linked or kept separate can be set on the setup menu No. 713 (MONI OUT). (Note that the headphones output volume is normally linked.)

When the volumes are kept separate, the monitor output is set to the unity value (preset value).

MONITOR SELECT switches

These are used to select the audio signals output to the monitor L/R channels.

Each time the “L” button is pressed, the signals output to the monitor L channel are selected in turn in the following order: CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CUE and back to CH1. [However, this switching is disabled when CH1+2 or CH3+4 has been selected for setup menu No. 729 (MONITOR MIX L).]

Each time the “R” button is pressed, the signals output to the monitor R channel are selected in turn in the following order: CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CUE and back to CH1. [However, this switching is disabled when CH1+2 or CH3+4 has been selected for setup menu No. 730 (MONITOR MIX R).]

The L or R lamp on the level meter display lights to indicate which signal is now being selected. (When the unit is set to “AUTO” in No. 721 (MONI CH SEL) on the setup menu, then the display will change according to the monitor output.)

METER (FULL/FINE) selector switch

This is used to change the scale display (graduations) of the audio level meters.

FULL mode: Standard scale (from - to 0 dB)

FINE mode: The scale changes every 0.5 dB
