SETTING UP YOUR SYSTEM
Place a SPL meter in the location where you will be when monitoring and mixing your music.
Select the appropriate set of monitors by activating the A, B, or SUB switches, while adjusting the amplifier
level for that respective monitor pair. You want to adjust your amplifier levels to achieve a SPL reading of
approximately 85 dB.
The 0 dB setting on the MODE switch will now be your ideal monitoring setting. By monitoring your audio at
this constant level, your ears will become accustomed to how music should sound at this level, and your
mixes should improve.
The –12 dB and –6 dB settings will attenuate the monitoring level to check your mix at decreased levels,
while +6 dB and +12 dB will allow you to check your mix at increased levels.
Avoid listening to audio at these higher levels for extended periods of time. Doing so can cause the ears to
fatigue, misleading your judgment when making critical choices during mixing.
LABELING SWITCHES
Once you decide how external buss processors will be connected to the db, you should consider labeling the
corresponding switches.
A transparency sheet is included for labeling these switches. When cutting out the labels, use the fine-dot grid
to guide your cuts.
* To remove the switch cap, depress the switch so it is in the outward position.
* Using your fingers, grab the top and bottom of the switch cap and pull it off.
* Use your fingernails or a thin flat blade to gently pry the clear plastic top off the white base.
* Place the transparent label on the white base and install the clear plastic top on the base.
* Reinstall the switch cap for the switch by aligning it and pressing it on the switch.
Once the
is fully connected to your system, you should calibrate the sound
pressure level (SPL) of audio in your room.
Set the MONITOR control to the 0 dB setting, and set the MODE control to
PLAY.
Set your DAW master output channels to outputs 1 and 2 of your audio interface.
Play source material in your DAW (whit
e or pink noise may be preferable), and set
the output of your DAW and audio interface so it is as close as possible to 0 dB
