MTC 2381
Control functions are divided in three areas: Cue Mix, Talkback and Control
Room.
The Cue Mix section contains all the necessary controls to set up a monitor
mix for the musician.
IMPORTANT: Be careful to ensure that all MTC input signals are properly
adjusted and provide proper levels. Due to the purist design philosophy of
the MTC, the controls Cue Mix/Musician, Cue Mix/Mix, Cue Mix/Volume and
Control Room/Source Blend are passive circuits that do not provide for gain
increases.
This means, for example, that were you to input a strong DAW mix with a weak
musician’s signal, the Musician Cue-Mix would then have to run at full volume
while your mix signal would have to be lowered—likely way too much. Under
such circumstances the total Cue Mix Volume would not be greater than its
weakest link (the musician’s signal). You would then have to raise the head-
phone amplifier level, which in turn would result in an unfavorable increase
in signal noise. Of course, this same consideration holds for the Source Blend
Control. Therefore, do make every effort to provide your MTC with proper
signal levels.
Cue Mix/Musician
With this Potentiometer you can control the volume of the musician’s signal in
the Cue-Mix.
Cue Mix/Mix
The Mix potentiometer determines the level of the Mix signal as a second
Cue-Mix component.
Cue Mix/Volume
This potentiometer adjusts the total Cue-Mix volume.
Tip: Cue-Mix volume can also be adjusted by the musician himself through a
subsequent headphone amplifier.
Talkback/Level
This potentiometer controls the Talkback signal level.
