CONTROL ROOM

MONITORING

The Control Room Monitoring

system is one of the most used

systems in a studio. Typically there

are several sets of loudspeakers

with a main pair and one or

more alternate pairs. These are

sometimes referred to as Near, Far

and Mid field monitors depending

on their proximity to the listening

position.

The ASP4816 provides for 4 pairs

of loudspeakers, a MAIN pair and

ALTERNATE 1, 2 and 3. Source

selection is made from either the

MIX or DAW, EXT 1 and 2.

Each loudspeaker pair has its own

level control. The control for the

main pair is larger than the controls

for the alternate monitors. The

level controls are independent of

each other.

Associated with the main

loudspeakers are some further

controls allowing the left and

right outputs to be independently

or simultaneously CUT, the

monitoring system to be placed in

MONO mode, or for the output to

be dimmed by a preset amount.

1 SOURCE SELECT buttons.

2 LEVEL controls for the

alternate loudspeakers.

3 SPEAKER SELECT buttons.

4 Main Loudspeaker LEVEL

Control.

5 MONO button allowing the

6 CUT buttons allowing

7 DIM allows the speakers to

be reduced in level by a preset

amount (15dB).

8 CUT allows the speakers to be

completely silenced.
