give you blissful peace of mind. They provide assurance that
analog audio, digital audio, or video signals are present and
meet established quality standards before being broadcast,
recorded, or otherwise distributed. The various models differ
primarily in the types and number of signals they can monitor,
though all are housed in compact, single space chassis that
occupy minimal rack real estate. Monitoring is accomplished
audibly (through speakers or headphones) and visually
through meters and video monitors.
All models share many basic features and capabilities. A
pair of highly compact yet full range shielded stereo speakers
are built in, along with a Speaker Mute switch. An amply
powered TRS output is provided for headphone listening. The
speakers and headphone amplifiers share a Volume slide
control, and non-video models have Balance sliders. A Phase
indicator displays the phase relationship of the left and right
channels of the source being monitored. The indicator will
glow green to amber under normal conditions, and red during
conditions of total phase reversal, aiding in determining mono-
compatibility. Each input is routed to a bright, fourteen
segment LED meter, which may be switched for VU or PPM
ballistics and +4 dBu or +8 dBu reference levels with front
panel switches. Meter brightness may be adjusted with a
dimmer control, to suit user taste and variations in ambient
lighting. All front panel control and indicator labels are rear
printed on a heavy duty, wear-free mylar overlay. All analog
inputs and outputs are high common-mode rejection XLR
balanced, and each is provided with a rear panel signal activity
indicator for easy identification of system problems. Outputs
also have ±6 dB Gain Trim controls. The unit is powered with
an included UL-approved external power supply via a DIN 5
connector. For maximum reliability, it features a clean, modular
design with minimal cabling.
Models with digital monitoring capability are equipped with
an A/D Select button and both front and rear bi-color digital
signal activity indicator(s). The digital input(s) can accommo-
