6.14 diamond - Monitoring
diamond supports a number of audio elements that can be used to configure monitor source selection and master control.
The number of monitor outputs, and their operation, is determined by the configuration. Usually, there are two main monitor
outputs controlled from the lower part of the Central or Combo module. If additional monitor outputs are required, then
these can be configured onto the upper Central Rotary Controls, or from additional Central/Combo modules running in
monitor mode.
The rest of this topic describes the monitoring defined in the standard configuration. The operation may vary if the
configuration is customized.
Controls Overview
The standard configuration provides five stereo monitor outputs that are controlled from the surface as follows.
Central Module
Combo Module
The two main monitor outputs are for the speakers in the
Control Room (4)
and host
Headphones (5)
. The controls are
color-coded for easy identification: cyan =
CR
(Control Room); green =
HP
(Headphones). Each rotary control can adjust
two parameters: turn to adjust monitor level; push down and turn to adjust monitor balance. The surrounding MF keys
provide monitor source selection and other options.
The three additional outputs are for the speakers in the
Studio
(1)
, the
Guest (2)
headphones
and
PFL
speaker (3). The
controls become available when all Function Keys are off, and are color-coded as follows: cyan =
ST
(Studio); purple =
GST
(Guest); green =
PFL
. Each rotary control adjusts a single parameter: turn to adjust the output
level.
The soft keys provide
monitor source selection, talkback and other options.
