AEQ FORUM 
Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications

o “Mixer”: each key pressed adds the signal to be monitored to the summing bus. 
o “Exclusive”: each key pressed connects the signal to the summing bus and 
disconnects any signal previously selected. 
In case there are no channels sent to CUE, the signal or signals selected in this section 
will be shown in the lower control VU meter (see section 2.1.2.1 of this manual). 
2.1.2.5. Studio room monitoring section. 
Located in the lower left corner of the AEQ FORUM control surface are a two-coloured display, 
three rotary encoders and four keys. 
•  In the two-coloured OLED display are shown the output levels for the studio monitoring 
signals and the selected sources in each case, for studio headset, studio speakers and 
CUE. 
•  The three rotary encoders, from left to right, are: 
o “LEVEL” (Talkback Level): it controls the gain of the TALKBACK microphone. 
To decrease the level turn the encoder to the left. To increase the level turn the 
encoder to the right. 
o “MONITOR“:  it controls the audio level for the physical output for the studio 
room monitors. To decrease the level turn the encoder to the left. To increase 
the level, turn the encoder to the right. 
o “HP/SOURCE“: it controls the audio level for the physical output for the studio 
headphones. To decrease the level turn the encoder to the left. To increase the 
level, turn the encoder to the right. This encoder can also be used to select the 
signal to monitor associated with the key “SEL”: press to access a list of 
signals, and turn the encoder to move up or down in the list of signals; pushing 
the encoder a second time confirms the selection of the highlighted signal. 
•  The four keys under the display allows to select the signal to monitor on studio 
speakers and headset, from left to right: 
o “PROG“: allows you to monitor the audio signal Program. 
o “AUD“: allows you to monitor the audio signal Audition. 
o “SEL“: allows you to monitor any signal of the console previously selected by 
means of “HP/SOURCE“ encoder. 
o “CUE“: allows you to monitor the audio signal present on the CUE bus.
