02R User’s Guide
Analog Outputs
The 02R is equipped with a pair of analog stereo out connectors, one pair
XLR-type for connecting to professional equipment, the other phono jacks.
There are also two pairs of phone jacks to provide a stereo output to your
control room and studio monitoring systems.
Monitor Selector Switches
STUDIO Buttons
These buttons select the monitor signal sent to the studio monitor system.
In many studios, this would be a headphone amplifier, typically one that
could drive several sets of headphones. This system provides the
monitoring that your musicians need in order to successfully work on a
multitrack recording.
You can select the same signal that is being monitored in the control room
with the [C-R] button. When you press this button, it cancels the current
settings. When you press it again, it restores the previous settings.
You can send the signal from the stereo bus by pressing the [ST] button.
The most flexible approach is to set up a separate mix using one of the
auxiliary channels (press either the [AUX 5] or [AUX 6] button), and send
that to the studio monitors. This allows you, for example, to apply reverb
and equalization to the monitor signal you send to your vocalist, while you
record the performance dry. You can select any combination of the [ST],
[AUX 5], and [AUX 6] buttons—including none.
CONTROL ROOM Buttons
The buttons select the monitor signal sent to the control room monitor
system. This is usually a large pair of near-field loudspeakers. Many
studios also use a smaller speaker system, such as the YAMAHA NS-10M,
to monitor a “typical” listening environment.
You can select one of five 2TR IN inputs, three of which are digital (the
2TR-D1 to 2TR-D3 buttons). These inputs are used for monitoring two
track source signals, for example, the return of your master recorder. When
you press any of these buttons, the current setting is cancelled. When you
press the button again, the previous setting is restored.
You can also monitor the signal on the stereo bus with the [ST] button or
select the auxiliary channels (AUX 5 or AUX 6). You can select any
combination of the [ST], [AUX 5], and [AUX 6] buttons—including none.
Convert the monitor signal to monaural by pressing the [MONO] button or
mute the output by 20 dB by pressing the [DIM] button.
