Alt Monitor in Surround Modes
When ALT Monitor is selected in Surround 
Monitor modes, only the Left and Right chan-
nels are routed to the ALT outputs.
About the Monitor Level Controls
The Main and Alt level control circuits are digi-
tally-controlled to ensure that perfect accuracy 
is achieved between all sides of multichannel 
program material. When turning the Main or 
Alt monitor pots quickly, it is possible to jump 
from one level setting to another. 
To maintain perfect level accuracy from channel 
to channel, the digitally-controlled circuit takes 
a moment to adjust itself, so use caution when 
moving the level control quickly. You may also 
hear steps when adjusting the monitor level as 
the circuit is changing the gain in fixed incre-
ments. This will be more noticeable with pro-
gram material that has sustained lower frequen-
cies below. This in no way affects the material 
that is being recorded or mixed, and is only in 
the monitor circuit. 
Solo and Mute Controls 
The global Mute/Solo switches (LEFT, CENTER, 
RIGHT, LS, RS, AND SUB) in the Control Room 
Monitor section solo the individual stems of a 
Surround mix when the MUTE NOT SOLO 
switch is not lit.
When the MUTE NOT SOLO switch is lit, the 
same switches mute their respective stems in a 
Surround mix.
The MUTE ALL switch acts as a Control Room 
Monitor master mute. The MUTE switch does 
not affect the Headphone signal (front-panel 
1/4-inch connector), but mutes all other sources 
currently selected in the Control Room Monitor 
section.
MONO Switch
The MONO switch sums all elements of the 
Control Room Monitor mix in mono. This is a 
good way to check phase and balance relation-
ships of a mix, and is available in both Stereo 
and Surround monitor modes. 
The MONO switch does not affect the head-
phones, Slate, or Aux outputs.
MONO and Stereo Mode
Pressing MONO will route mono-sum signals to 
the MAIN and ALT outputs.
MONO and Surround Modes
Only the Left and Right channels are affected by 
pressing the MONO switch.
