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 ASP8024 provides for
4 pairs of loudspeakers, a
MAIN pair and ALTERNATE
1, 2 and 3. Source selection
is made from either the MIX
or TAPE 1, 2 and 3.
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.
