Yamaha n12 User Manual

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.

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.

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:

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.

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).

This control adjusts the monitoring volume in the 
control room. Turning the knob clockwise will 
increase the volume level.

This control adjusts the input level of the built-in 
microphone. The “

▼” position corresponds to the 

nominal level (0 dB).

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.
