Monitoring<br />
Monitoring<br />
The standard stereo monitoring system is used when there are no Film paths in the current Desk Setup or when<br />
the Surround Sound Panel is switched off. The monitoring system provides control for 3 pairs of control room<br />
loudspeakers, a pair of studio loudspeakers and a headphone output. There are three monitor panels and a<br />
common selector panel.<br />
The monitoring system uses a set of special System Paths called SELs and LISTENs. There can be up to 6 SELs<br />
and up to 2 LISTENs. The path names for the SELs are SEL1 through SEL6. The path names for the LISTENs are<br />
LS1 and LS2 (this should not be confused with the two sets of small loudspeakers, L/S1 and L/S2).<br />
The Monitoring Schematic shows how the SEL and LISTEN paths are used. The distinction between a SEL and a<br />
LISTEN is that the source for a SEL is chosen from the SELECT panel. The sources for LS1 and LS2 are fixed to the<br />
AFL and PFL busses respectively.<br />

SELS<br />
The number of SELs set in Desk Edit will affect the availability of<br />
monitoring output facilities. E.g. If 5 SELs are configured then the<br />
second VU Meter selector on the optional Meter Bridge will not<br />
operate and no signals will be metered by those VU Meters.<br />
Switch Between Surround and Standard Monitoring<br />
The alpha display in the SELECT Panel shows which monitoring system is active. It displays SURROUND when<br />
the Surround Monitoring system is active, or STEREO when the Standard Monitoring system is active.<br />
