Monitor Station V2
Owner’s Manual

2.3 Advanced Modes
The Monitor Station V2 oers some powerful options that allow you to congure
it for the way you like to work. You can set the operating mode of its:
• Speaker Select buttons
• Main and Cue Source buttons
• LED meter
Select the desired operating mode by pressing the appropriate button as
you power up the Monitor Station V2. In the following sections, we explain
the modes and tell you the button to hold down to select each one.
You can set a single mode during each power-up, so don’t hold down two buttons at
the same time as you turn on the Monitor Station V2. To return to the Monitor Station
V2’s original mode settings, perform a factory reset as described in Section 2.3.4.
2.3.1 Speaker Select Modes
Hold down Speaker Select: To select: So that:
Speaker A Combo mode …all of the Speaker Select buttons—and therefore all of your speakers—can be active at the same time.
(This is the default mode.)
Speaker B Toggle mode …only one speaker system can be selected at a time.
Speaker C Toggle A/B mode …you always hear a subwoofer connected to Speaker C as you toggle between the A and B speaker systems.
2.3.2 Main and Cue Source Modes
Hold down Main Source: To select: So that:
ST1 Input Sum mode …all of the Main and Cue Source buttons can be active at the same time.
ST2 Input Toggle mode …only one Main source and one Cue source can be selected at a time. This is handy when you’re comparing input
sources against each other, such as when you A/B your mix against a commercial CD whose mix you’re using as a
reference.
2.3.3 Input LED Meter Modes
Hold down Cue Source: To select: So that:
ST1 +4 dBu mode
…the LED meter references 0 VU to +4 dBu. Use this if any of your monitoring devices have a maximum input of +4
dBu or if none of your input devices have a maximum (or nominal) output level greater than +4 dBu.
ST2 +10 dBu mode
…the LED meter references 0 VU to +10 dBu. Use this if any of your monitoring devices have a maximum input of 10
dBu or if none of your input devices have a maximum (or nominal) output level greater than +10 dBu.
AUX +18 dBu mode
…the LED meter references 0 VU to +18 dBu. Use this if any of your monitoring devices have a maximum input of
+18 dBu or if none of your input devices have a maximum (or nominal) output level greater than +18 dBu.
2.3.4 Reset All Modes to the Factory Default
Hold down the Mono button during power-up to reset all
of the modes to their factory-default settings.
