TM500 Interconnections - Split Mono Configuration

ENGLISH

The illustration below shows typical interconnections between the TM500 and other audio equipment when used in its “split mono” configuration (that is, with the Aux 1 / Monitor switch [see #20 on page 8] pressed in). Note that , in this conguration, the Rev To Aux 1 Level control (#16 on page 7) can be used to route internal DSP signal to the onstage wedge monitors (the Aux Return 2 Level can still be used to route DSP signal to the main PA speakers as well).
