Chapter 13—Monitoring & Talkback

The DM2000 features comprehensive surround monitoring functions, including a pink 
noise generator for speaker setup, Bass Management, and down mixing.

The Surround Monitor signal source is selected by using the SURROUND 
buttons. The [BUS] button selects the Bus Outs as the source. The 
[ASSIGN 1] and [ASSIGN 2] buttons select the Inputs of the Slots specified 
on the Surround Monitor page as the source. Surround mixes from up to six 
multitrack recorders can be monitored by patching Slot Inputs to Surround 
Monitor Channels (see page 163) with the [ASSIGN 1] and [ASSIGN 2] but-
tons. The level of the Surround Monitor can be set by using the SURROUND 
MONITOR LEVEL control.

Surround monitor speakers can be aligned by using the individual Attenuator and Delay 
parameters on each Surround Monitor Channel. In addition to the standard Ls and Rs 
speakers, the DM2000 supports Ls2 and Rs2 speakers, with independent Attenuator and 
Delay parameters, for a more diffused surround monitoring environment. See “Configur-
ing Surround Monitoring” on page 161 for more information.

Surround Monitor Channels can be patched to Slot Outputs or Omni Outputs. See “Output 
Patching” on page 79 for more information.

Surround Monitor settings can be stored in the Surround Monitor library, which contains 
1 preset memory and 32 user memories. See “Surround Monitor Library” on page 173 for 
more information.

General surround monitoring is performed on the Surround Monitor page.

The number of speaker icons and meters shown on the Surround Monitor page depends on 
the currently selected Surround mode. The meters indicate Bus Out signal levels.

MUTE/SOLO: These parameters are used to mute and solo Surround Channels. A Sur-
round Channel is on when its speaker icon is highlighted. Speaker icons can be selected by 
using the cursor buttons. When SOLO is on, Surround Channels can be soloed by selecting 
speaker icons and pressing [ENTER].

SETTING: These buttons are used to select which Slot’s Inputs are monitored when the 
SURROUND [ASSIGN 1] and [ASSIGN 2] buttons are pressed. Up to six Slots can be 
assigned to each ASSIGN button, in which case the signals are mixed. Individual Slot Inputs 
can be patched to Surround Monitor Channels on the Surround Monitor Patch page (see 
page 163).
