Console OperationsIf either MInI a or MInI B ‘LS SELECT’ buttons are selected, the left and right monitor busses are fed to thecorresponding stereo mini loudspeaker output. Mini level relative to the main monitors can be trimmed via the main monitorpot by selecting MInI in the group of buttons to the right of the monitor pot. When a Mini speaker output is selected, the5-2 stereO mix is automatically switched into the monitor circuit to deal with any 5.1 sources present.The DIM button dims both main and mini loudspeaker outputs by a preset level. Set this level by selecting the DIM buttonto the right of the monitor pot and turning the main monitor pot. The Dim circuit is automatically activated when any ofthe following buttons are pressed: lIsten, tB all, F/B a, F/B B, ext t/B, Oscillator to traCK or MIx.The Cut button cuts the monitor feeds to whichever set of monitors is selected. Cut is activated automatically by theslate talkback function. Cut and DIM can also be activated externally via the GPIO/Talkback connector.The six main monitor outputs can be muted individually with the l, C, r, ls, rs and lFe (sub) ‘MOnItOrMute/sOlO’ buttons. These become monitor solo buttons by selecting the sOlO button in the ‘MON MODE’ group(see above).All the monitor outputs are available for connection to amplifiers via the centre section connector panel. The two 5.1outputs (Main and Alt) and the two Mini outputs feed two 25-way D-type connectors — ‘MON A’ and ‘MON B’; the twoMini outputs (Mini A and Mini B) also feed individual XLRs for left and right.external source selectorsTwo external monitor source selectors are provided. ext a has four 5.1 inputs. These may be fed by any source of sixchannels or less. The MIx selection provides an important fifth input to ext a, which is used to monitor the 5.1 MainMix bus when mixing in 5.1 mode.ext B is a 2-channel selector that may receive up to four stereo sources. In either case, sources may be summed together;this is particularly useful for generating complex foldback mixes or when stem mixing, as it allows the recorded stems tobe monitored together with the current mix.To select an external monitor source, first press either the ext a or ext B button , choose a source from those shownin the display, and then press the soft key under that source (or first press the key under suM to sum selected sources).Finally, route the external source(s) to the monitors by pressing ext a or ext B in the ‘MON SRC’ group of buttons.The ltr selection on ext B provides monitoring for a surround encoder’s LtRt output (see next page).Inputs to the external source selectors are connected via D-connectors (four for External A, one for External B) on theconnector panel.2-24 Duality se V3 Operator’s Manual
