Console OperationsMonitoringThe large knob below the ‘MONITOR LEVEL’ display normally sets the level of the main control room monitors, accordingto the monitoring standard selected in the ssl / Misc / setup menu – See Monitor level Display and Calibratedlistening level. The column of six buttons to the right enables this control to be used for the named alternative functions.You will be monitoring on whichever set of speakers is selected from the ‘LS SELECT’ group: the Main 5.1 speakers (‘MainA’ — the default with no buttons selected), alt 5.1 (‘Main B’), MInI a or MInI B.The loudspeakers are fed from whatever source has been selected in the ‘MON SRC’ group of buttons. The alternativesinclude the MIx a bus, the stereo downmix (stereO MIx), and two external source selectors, ext a and ext B.Sources will be intercancelling unless the suM button is selected. All sources to the monitoring are stereo except thosebrought in via the ext a monitor source selector (see below).The stereO button folds down the 5.1 inputs to the monitor path via a 5-2 gain-compensated matrix (which also providesthe Mon feed to the foldback outputs), and feeds the result to left and right monitor outputs. MOnO can be selected withor without stereO and sums the left and right monitor busses, feeding the result equally to the left and right monitoroutputs.The Ø button precedes the MOnO button and reverses the phase of the left monitor feed, providing a quick way ofchecking for any phase anomalies in a stereo mix. If MOnO is active, selecting the Ø button allows the difference (L – Ror the ‘S’ signal) to be monitored instead of the L + R sum.The sOlO button turns the monitor cut buttons (see below) into monitor solo buttons. The sOlO Clear button lightswhen any channel sOlO, s/Ch lstn, aFl, or centre section aFl or MOnItOr sOlO button is pressed. PresssOlO Clear to cancel any Solo/AFL/PFL function.Duality se V3 Operator’s Manual2-23
