Audio Monitor Point Cluster

The eight soft buttons on the left side of the VGA display are used to select
the monitor point in the Maestro audio processing hardware. The names in
the soft buttons are system-generated (fixed). They can be thought of as
outputs or buses but in reality they monitor the input source parameters of
the source that is currently feeding the monitor point being displayed on
the soft button label. The displayed and monitored audio signal parameters
are the combination of the monitor point selection and the audio group
selection. The exception to this rule is the Off Air input which has no asso-
ciated source and parameters. The Off Air input is fed directly into the
Maestro rear panel.

The audio sources that can be selected for monitoring are as follows:

Program

Preset

AUX

Clean Feed

Off-Air (Mon In on Maestro rear panel)

Mix 1, Mix 1 (PGM), Mix 1 (PST)

Mix 2, Mix 2 (PGM), Mix 2 (PST)

Mix 3, Mix 3 (PGM), Mix 3 (PST)

Mix 4, Mix 4 (PGM), Mix 4 (PST)

Since there are only eight buttons on the left side of the screen to assign pos-
sible monitor points, Clean Feed and Off-Air are assigned to the same soft
button. Pressing the small black Clean Feed and Off-Air button will toggle
between the two selections.

The Monitor Point selections are shown in
