Frequently Asked Questions - Monicon XL Palmer

How to connect active studio monitors to the Palmer Monicon XL?
Connect your monitors to the BALANCED MONITOR OUTPUTS 1, 2 or 3 using TRS 6.35 mm jack cables. Make sure all devices are turned off before wiring, then turn on the monitors last. Set the MAIN volume to 12 o'clock and adjust the gain of each output with the corresponding GAIN potentiometer.
How to use the talkback function?
Press the TALK button to activate the built-in microphone. The talkback signal is sent via the CUE channel and headphone outputs. Adjust the talkback volume with the LEVEL knob located above the TALK button. The main audio signal is automatically attenuated during talkback.
What does the correlation display mean?
The 7-segment CORRELATION display checks the mono compatibility of your stereo mix. The three bottom green LEDs indicate good compatibility; the three top red LEDs signal phase issues. The center yellow LED and the bottom green LED remain lit at all times.
How to adjust the LED display level?
The LEFT/RIGHT level display can be adapted to your signal. By holding down the CUE SOURCE IN 1 button during power-on, the max level corresponds to +4 dBu; with IN 2: +10 dBu; with IN 3: +18 dBu. The factory setting is +18 dBu.
Can I use multiple input sources at the same time?
Yes, by default, all INPUT SELECT inputs can be activated simultaneously (Multi mode). To switch to Individual mode (one input at a time), hold down IN 2 during power-on. To return to Multi mode, hold down IN 1.
How to configure the MUTE function in momentary mode?
Turn off the device, then hold down the MUTE button while turning it back on. The mode switches from 'latching' (switch) to 'momentary' (push button). To return to latching mode, repeat the procedure.
How to restore factory settings?
Turn off the Monicon XL, then hold down the MONO button while turning it back on. This resets the operating modes of the MUTE, TALK, INPUT SELECT, and OUTPUT SELECT buttons to default settings.
What are the important safety precautions?
Never open the device (risk of electric shock). Avoid water, flames, and heat sources. Use only the supplied power supply. Unplug the device during storms or prolonged non-use. Clean with a dry cloth.
How to use the CUE output?
The CUE L/R output (unbalanced) delivers the signal selected via CUE SOURCE (IN 1-3). Adjust the volume with the CUE OUTPUT knob. This output is not affected by the MUTE, MONO or DIM functions, but talkback is audible.
What type of headphones can I use?
Both headphone outputs accept stereo headphones with a 6.35 mm jack connector. Before connecting, set the volume to minimum, then increase gradually. The maximum output power is 75 mW into 32 ohms.

CABLING AND SETUP

Before putting the device into operation, make sure to observe the technical data for all components, such as the maximum output level of player devices and the maximum input level of the monitor controller and monitors! In case of uncertainty, consult an experienced studio technician. Use high-quality and, if possible, balanced cables for cabling. In the following, you will find information about cabling and putting the monitor controller into operation with active studio monitors. The procedure can also be applied to the cabling and setting up with a power amp and passive studio monitors.

  • Before you begin installing the cables, turn off any devices that you want to connect to the monitor controller and set the volume of all devices to minimum.
    • After installing the cables, turn on the connected monitors and headphone amplifiers as the last devices.
  • Start playback on the desired player device and activate the appropriate input (INPUT SELECT IN 1 to IN 3). Then check the input signal using the 8-segment LEFT and RIGHT level indicators. If necessary, adjust the display to the input signal level (for description, see point 16).
  • Make sure that the controller's MUTE, DIM, and TALK functions are not activated.
  • Now activate the monitor output (OUTPUT SELECT OUT 1 to OUT 3) to which your monitors are connected and turn the corresponding GAIN control above the output all the way clockwise (maximum).
  • Set the MAIN volume control to the 12 o'clock position and carefully increase the volume of the monitors to the desired monitoring volume, making sure that the monitors are equally loud. Repeat these same steps to adjust a subwoofer's volume to the volume of the monitors.
  • Keep the levels of various player devices and pairs of monitors at the same level to avoid sudden jumps in volume when switching signal sources and monitor outputs.

11 CUE SOURCE IN 1 - IN 2 - IN 3

Illuminated buttons for selecting the IN 1 to IN 3 signal source for the CUE L/R line output. The button corresponding to the active line input illuminates.

12 CUE OUTPUT

Volume control for the CUE line output (UNBAL, LINE OUTPUTS CUE).

13 MAIN

Volume control for the balanced line outputs BALANCED MONITOR OUTPUTS 1 to 3. Keep the levels of various signal sources at a similar level to avoid sudden jumps in volume when switching signal sources.

14 MONO

Push the MONO button in order to monitor the output signals of the line outputs BALANCED MONITOR OUTPUTS 1 to 3 and the headphone outputs 1 and 2 (MAIN signal) in mono. It is easy to control how a mix sounds in mono because many clubs and bars use sound systems in mono mode. It is also always advisable to listen to a stereo mix in mono because it will allow you to better identify problems with the phasing and to also rectify them.

The MONO function does not affect CUE channel's signal.

The modes of operation for the MUTE, TALK, INPUT SELECT and OUTPUT SELECT buttons can be reset to the factory default by switching off the monitor controller, pressing MONO, and holding it down until the monitor controller has been switched back on again. Before changing the setting, switch off all connected monitors and headphone amplifiers.

15 MUTE

Mute function for the output signals of the line outputs BALANCED MONITOR OUTPUTS 1 to 3 and the head-phone outputs 1 and 2 (MAIN signal). The mute function does not affect CUE channel's signal.

You can choose between two modes of operation for the MUTE function.

Mode of operation A (factory default): "latching" (switch): Push the MUTE button once to activate the function and briefly again to deactivate the function. The MUTE button illuminates when the mute function is activated.

Mode of operation B: "momentary" (button): The MUTE function is only active as long as the MUTE button is pressed. The function automatically deactivates upon releasing the button. The MUTE button illuminates when the MUTE function is activated.

Before changing the setting, switch off all connected monitors and headphone amplifiers.

To select the mode of operation B, switch off the monitor controller, press the MUTE button, and hold it down until the monitor controller has been switched on again.

16 LEFT / RIGHT

8-segment LED level indicators for the left and right channel of the adjacent audio signal; tapping occurs before the MAIN volume control. To improve control, the display can be adjusted to the input signal's signal level in three stages.

Example: The level indicator's red LED 0 illuminates when the level indicator is set to +10 dBu and the input has a signal of +10 dBu.

+18 dBu is the default setting. Before changing the setting, switch off all connected monitors and headphone amplifiers.
+4 dBu - If none of the connected player devices exceeds the maximum output level of +4 dBu, select the setting +4 dBu. Switch off the monitor controller, press the CUE SOURCE IN 1 button, and hold it down until the monitor controller has been switched on again.
+10 dBu - If none of the connected player devices exceeds the maximum output level of +10 dBu, select the setting +10 dBu. Switch off the monitor controller, press the CUE SOURCE IN 2 button, and hold it down until the monitor controller has been switched on again.
+18 dBu - If none of the connected player devices exceeds the maximum output level of +18 dBu, select the setting +18 dBu. Switch off the monitor controller, press the CUE SOURCE IN 3 button, and hold it down until the monitor controller has been switched on again.

The monitor controller's maximum input level is +20 dBu. If the input level goes above this level, it overmodulates the input and distorts the signal. If one of the connected player devices exceeds the maximum output level of +20 dBu, the output level of the respective player device must be restricted to a maximum level of +20 dBu.

17 CORRELATION

Check the stereo audio signal's mono compatibility. Since many clubs and bars operate sound systems in mono, and since, for example, a sound production on the radio should also be played back in good quality on simple mono devices, the mono compatibility of the sound production is extremely important. For a stereo signal's mono playback, the left and right channel are blended to form a mono signal (mono sum). If a sound in the stereo mix is not played back on both channels in phase, it may be distorted or even completely cancelled out during mono playback. In extreme cases, the entire audio signal can be cancelled out altogether (silence).

When reproducing a stereo signal in the mix, ensure that only up to three of the bottom green LEDs of the 7-segment CORRELATION display illuminate, and that none of the top three LEDs illuminate (the more red LEDs illuminate, the worse the mono compatibility). The bottom green LED and middle yellow LED illuminate permanently, even if there is no signal.

18 TALK LEVEL

Press the TALK button to activate the integrated talk-back microphone and to easily communicate with musicians and voice artists using the CUE monitoring channel and the headphone outputs on the front of the device (respective switch in the CUE position). The volume of the talk-back microphone can be controlled with the LEVEL level control above the TALK button. Carefully increase the volume until the connected headphones are at a pleasant level and so that no feedback can happen. Upon activating the talk-back microphone, the CUE SOURCE IN 1 to IN 3 audio signal on the CUE channel and headphone outputs on the front of the device (respective switch in the CUE position) will automatically be lowered by a fixed amount. The audio signal on the BALANCED MONITOR OUTPUTS 1 to 3 line outputs is simultaneously lowered by the value set on the ATTENUATION control.

You can choose between two modes of operation for the TALK function.

Mode of operation A (factory default): "latching" (switch): Press the TALK button once to activate the function and then press it again briefly to deactivate the function. The TALK and DIM buttons illuminate when the TALK function is activated.

Mode of operation B: "momentary" (button): The TALK function is only active as long as the TALK button is pressed. The function automatically deactivates upon releasing the button. The TALK and DIM buttons illuminate when the TALK function is activated.

Before changing the setting, switch off all connected monitors and headphone amplifiers.

To select the mode of operation B, switch off the monitor controller, press the TALK button, and hold it down until the monitor controller has been switched on again.

19 TALK-BACK MICROPHONE

Microphone used for communicating with musicians and voice artists via the CUE monitoring channel and headphone outlets on the front of the device.

20 DIM ATTENUATION

The DIM function allows you to lower the output signals of the BALANCED MONITOR OUTPUTS 1 to 3 line outputs and the 1 and 2 (MAIN signal) headphone outputs by the value set on the ATTENUATION control, without affecting the CUE signals. For example, you can have a conversation in the control room at a low volume without disturbing an ongoing recording. Press the DIM button once to activate the function and then press it again briefly to deactivate the function. The button illuminates when the DIM function is activated.

21 HEADPHONE OUTPUTS 1 AND 2

Headphone outputs with 0.25 inch jack sockets. Use the CUE/MAIN switch on the desired headphone output (switched-down position = CUE signal, not in the switched-down position = MAIN signal) to select the signal source and adjust the volume using the corresponding LEVEL level control. To prevent damage to equipment as well as hearing damage, turn down the volume to minimum before connecting and putting on headphones, and then only gently raise the volume, keeping the levels of the various signal sources at a similar level to avoid sudden jumps in volume when switching sources. The signals are each tapped before the CUE and MAIN volume controls (PFL).
