All models share many basic features and capabilities. A pair of highly compact yet full range shielded stereo speakers are built in, along with a Speaker Mute switch. An amply powered TRS output is provided for headphone listening. The speakers and headphone amplifiers share a Volume slide control, and non-video models have Balance sliders. A Phase indicator displays the phase relationship of the left and right channels of the source being monitored. The indicator will glow green to amber under normal conditions, and red during conditions of total phase reversal, aiding in determining mono- compatibility. Each input is routed to a bright, fourteen segment LED meter, which may be switched for VU or PPM ballistics and +4 dBu or +8 dBu reference levels with front panel switches. Meter brightness may be adjusted with a dimmer control, to suit user taste and variations in ambient lighting. All front panel control and indicator labels are rear printed on a heavy duty, wear-free mylar overlay. All analog inputs and outputs are high common-mode rejection XLR balanced, and each is provided with a rear panel signal activity indicator for easy identification of system problems. Outputs also have ±6 dB Gain Trim controls. The unit is powered with an included UL-approved external power supply via a DIN 5 connector. For maximum reliability, it features a clean, modular design with minimal cabling.

Models with digital monitoring capability are equipped with an A/D Select button and both front and rear bi-color digital signal activity indicator(s). The digital input(s) can accommo-
