4 – Routing & assignment : Monitoring
TASCAM DM-4800 User’s Manual 67
However, these assignments can be changed using
the
MONITOR screen:
Move the cursor to the selection wheel of any of the
six selectors, use the wheel to select the source, and
press
ENTER.
The sources that may be selected for these monitor
selectors are:
• The aux sends
• The linked pairs of aux sends
• The busses
• The linked buss pairs
• The two digital stereo inputs
• The analog 2-track input
• Oscillator
The
Follow LINK setting allows a stereo setting to be
made from a mono source, by following the links
between adjacent aux sends or busses.
When this checkbox is off, and an unlinked odd-
numbered aux send or buss is selected as the monitor
source, that source is output in mono from the moni-
tor outputs.
When this checkbox is on, and a linked odd-num-
bered aux send or buss is selected as the monitor
source, that source is output from the left monitor
channel, and the linked even-numbered aux send or
buss is output from the right monitor channel.
When a linked pair of sends or busses is selected as
the monitor source, this checkbox has no effect.
The overall volume of the analog output to the con-
trol room monitors connected to the
LARGE (BAL)
analog outputs (“Monitoring (LARGE (BAL) &
SMALL (BAL))” on page 50) is controlled using the
dedicated
LARGE volume control.
The
SMALL key is used to switch between the large
and small (near-field) monitor pairs (i.e. the monitor
speakers connected to the
SMALL (BAL) outputs) in
the control room. The volume of the small pair can
be adjusted independently of the level of the large
pair using the
SMALL rotary control.
The
DIM “smart key” (see “Smart keys” on page 19)
lowers the level from the control room outputs when
active. The amount by which the level is dimmed is
set from this screen using the POD 2 encoder.
NOTE
Monitoring in surround mode is a different process, best
achieved through use of the optional IF-SM/DM surround
monitor card.
Studio cue source
The studio source may be set up to mirror the control
room source by selecting the
From CONTROL ROOM
option, or it may be set independently using the
upper option.
Turn the wheel and press
ENTER to make the selec-
tion. The options available here are:
• The stereo buss
• The linked pairs of aux sends
• The linked buss pairs
• The two digital stereo inputs
• The analog 2-track input
• The internal oscillator
• The control room monitor
TIP
Since there are several options in the routing, etc. that only
affect the aux 1–2 sends, we suggest that you use these as a
separate studio cue feed.
The volume of the studio cue is adjusted from this
screen using the POD 4 encoder.
