Format
This manual uses a format that is intended to be easy to read, yet technical for those who need to
know all the details. For feature descriptions, this is done by devoting the left side of each page to 1)
an overall module picture, 2) a block diagram, and 3) a control closeup.These images all pertain to the
features and control descriptions on the right side of the page. Also, for certain features like the micro-
processor system and the solo system that appear over and over again, references are made to sec-
tions devoted to these features.
The intention is to make the manual easy to read while including all the technical details needed for
getting the most out of the X-Monitor console, a flexible and feature-rich addition to Crest Audio's grow-
ing line of audio mixing console products.
