AEQ FORUM - DIGITAL AUDIO MIXER FOR BROADCAST APPLICATIONS 
15
The keys under the display allow select the signal to monitor on monitor speakers and headset, 
from left to right: 
•  PROG, monitor the audio signal “Master 1”. 
•  AUD, monitor the audio signal “AUDITION” or Master 2. 
•  SEL, allows monitor any signal  of the console selected from the encoder CHP / 
SOURCE. 
•  CUE, selects the audio signal(s) present on the CUE bus. 
These four keys can have two working modes that are defined from the Configuration Software: 
•  NORMAL: each key pressed adds the signal to be monitored to the summing bus. 
•  EXCLUSIVE,  each  key  pressed  connects  the  signal  to  the  summing  bus  and 
disconnects any signal previously selected. 
 2.1.2.5. Studio Monitoring section 
Located in the lower left corner of the AEQ FORUM control surface are three rotary encoders, a 
two-coloured display and four keys. 
In the two-coloured OLED display are shown the output levels for the studio monitor signals and 
the  selected  sources  in  each  case,  studio  headset,  studio  monitors  (speakers)  and  talk-back 
level. 
Studio Monitoring section 
The three rotary encoder, from left to right control: 
•  LEVEL  (TALKBACK LEVEL),  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. 
•  MONITOR:  controls  the  audio  level  for  the  physical  output  for  the  Control  Room 
Monitors. To decrease the level, turn the encoder to the left. To increase the level turn 
the encoder to the right. 
•  HP / SOURCE: controls the audio level for the physical output for the 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  and  is 
associated with the key labelled SEL: Press to access a list of signals, and turning the 
encoder moves  up or down in  the   list of  signals.  Pushing the  encoder  a second time 
confirms the selection of the highlighted signal.
