Owner’s Manual

2. Zero the Monitor Station V2’s front-panel Main Output Level knob, the Cue Output

knob, individual headphone Level knobs, and the rear-panel Speaker A Output

trim by turning them fully counterclockwise.

3. Position your SPL-metering device as described above.

4. On the Monitor Station V2, press the ST1 Main Source and Speaker A Speaker

Select buttons so they light. Make sure no other sources or speakers are turned on.

5. In your DAW, or on your noise generator, pan the pink noise all the

way to the left, since we’ll start by calibrating the left speaker.

6. Make sure your pink-noise source isn’t going through any

signal processing so it’s as clean as possible.

7. Begin playing pink noise; you shouldn’t hear it, since you turned

everything down in step 1. If you do hear it, repeat step 1.

8. Set the Monitor Station V2’s front-panel Main Output Level

knob to Unity Gain by turning it fully clockwise.

9. Set the Monitor Station V2’s rear-panel Speaker A Output trim to fully clockwise.

You may begin hearing the test tone playing through your speakers.

10. Begin slowly increasing the input level on your left speaker until your

SPL meter is showing 80 dB SPL (or the target level you’ve chosen).

11. Repeat steps 6-10 for the right speaker.
