1C-R SPEAKER SELECT switches

These switches select the jacks that will output the

control room monitor signal. When you turn on one of

the switches, the LED lights up, and the

corresponding jacks output the monitoring signal.

2[DOWN MIX] switch

This switch converts 5.1-ch surround signals (input

from the DAW) into 2-ch L/R signals. While the

switch is on, converted 2-ch signals are output from

the C-R OUT jacks A.

3C-R SOURCE SELECT switches

These switches enable you to select a monitoring source

(the signal output from the C-R OUT jacks). The

following switches and monitoring sources are available:

4[DIMMER] switch

This switch turns on and off the Dimmer function that

temporarily lowers the monitoring volume. For

example, this can be convenient when you want to

have a conversation in the control room.

5[MUTE] switch

This switch turns on and off the Mute function that

mutes the monitoring signal. Repeatedly pressing

the switch toggles between on (the switch will light

up) and off (the switch will turn off).

6[CONTROL ROOM LEVEL] control

This control adjusts the monitoring volume in the

control room. Turning the knob clockwise will

increase the volume level.

7TALKBACK [LEVEL] control

This control adjusts the input level of the built-in

microphone. The “▼” position corresponds to the

nominal level (0 dB).

8[TALKBACK] switch

While this switch is being pressed, you can

communicate with the musicians (Talkback function).

When the Talkback function is turned on, the switch LED

will flash and the Dimmer function (

) will be enabled.
