Fig. 2.1: MON800 quick-start set-up

Please follow the instructions below to set up the MON800 as a monitor unit with different speakers in your studio.

•Connect your computer or any other line-level source to the MIX IN A connectors on the MON800.

•Connect your main monitor speakers to the SPEAKERS OUT A connectors, and another pair of speakers to the B outputs.

•Press the MIX A switch in the SOURCE section.

•Use the 2-TR OUT LED display to check the signal level. If the CLIP LED lights up, please reduce the input signal level until it settles between the -6 dB and +6 dB markings.

•The switches A and B allow you to switch the pairs of speakers on and off. Activate the A speakers and adjust the desired volume with SPK A LEVEL.

•Switch off the A speakers and activate the B speakers. Use SPK B + C LEVEL to adjust a volume level that is roughly the same as the A speakers volume.

•Switch between the two pairs of speakers to check the volume levels. Align the volume if necessary.

•By switching between the two pairs of speakers you can evaluate your mixes by way of a direct comparison using two different monitor systems.
