MONITORING OUTPUT SETUP
Artemis consoles do not have
dedicated outputs for feeding
monitors. Monitor outputs can be
patched to any Hydra2 audio output
port on the network.
Monitor output patching is separated from
other I/O patching as it generally remains
fixed irrespective of operators and the
shows being worked on. Patches made
from the fixed I/O pages are saved as part
of the show.
Monitor outputs can be found on the
>System Settings>Fixed I/O
screen.
Click on the
Sources
button at the
top left of the screen to bring up the
source lists available and select
Monitor
Outputs
from the
My Desk Outputs
group to display the monitor output
sources in the left hand list. The normal
default monitor output is at the top of
the list, labelled
Mon1 Main LS
. Other
monitor sources that are likely to be of
interest for initial setup are PFL1/RTB LS
and Mon1 Small LS. PFL/RTB LS outputs
carry the pre-fader listen bus mixed with
any reverse talkback inputs that have
been enabled. Mon1 Small LS is often a
preferable way to monitor PFL which is
routed to the small LS output by default.
In changeover mode, the main monitor
output is muted and instead sent to the
small LS.
Patching monitor outputs is similar
to normal I/O patching - click on the
destinations
button above the right
hand list and select the list containing the
I/O ports that the monitor speakers are
physically connected to from the
Output
Ports
group. Select the specific port
a speaker is connected to within that
list by highlighting it on the blue column
as shown in the adjacent screenshot.
Select the required monitor output source
on the left, again by highlighting in the
blue column (as shown in the screenshot)
and click patch. Once patched, the
destination list should display the patched
audio source.
As well as the standard Main Mon LS1
and PFL outputs there are also Mon2
and APFL2 outputs that are independent
for when multiple operators are using the
same system simultaneously. A number
of Misc Monitor outputs are also available
and can be used to feed anywhere that
needs an independent selector with a
level control. One potential use for these
can be to feed the analogue headphone
inputs to the control surface.
Speakerconfiguration
The detailed setup of monitor
systems should always follows the
recommendations of the loudspeaker
manufacturer. When surround monitor
systems and others with a separate LFE
or sub-bass channel are in use, it is often
good practise to use a bass management
system. Such controllers frequently
provide not only for their primary function
of optimising the speaker performance,
but also individual level trim functions.
The Calrec system itself does not provide
level adjustments or delay for adjusting
the individual channels within the monitor
output.
