SM10 Quick Start
SENDING AN INDEPENDENT MIX TO THE MONITOR SPEAKERS
The SM10’s MON auxiliary send can be
used to feed a separate set of amplifiers
and loudspeakers for stage monitors. This
lets you build one stereo mix for the main
mix, or amplifiers and speakers facing the
audience, and another stereo mix for the
amplifiers and monitor speakers facing the
musicians.
1. Raise the MON controls for the channels that you wish to hear from the
monitor speakers.
NOTE: MON controls are “pre-fader sends,” which means they are not affected
by the Volume control level settings of each channel. This allows you to create
a mix for the monitors that is indepen-
dent of the main left and right mix.
2. Raise the MON SEND control to ad-
just the level of the mixed signal from
the channel MON controls until the
desired level is reached at the rear
panel MON Output jack.
3. For added monitoring flexibility, the front panel MON Output (mono) can
be connected to a powered monitor speaker. Slowly raise the MON Level
control until the desired level is reached.
4. The MON mix can be monitored via headphones, by setting the PHONES
SOURCE switch to MON.
NOTE: Listening to high volume levels through headphones for even a short
time may damage your hearing and/or your headphones. Always turn the
HEADPHONE LEVEL control all the way counterclockwise before connecting
your headphones. Slowly raise the HEADPHONE LEVEL until a comfortable lis-
tening level is reached. Noise over 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss. Learn
to establish a safe listening level.
