-
AUDIO INPUT ("Balanced audio Input") with Mic/Line input selector. Input compatible with balanced XLR cables. Used for the input connection of the audio signal coming from the mixer (selector set to "Line") or from a microphone (selector set to "Mic").
-
MAIN PRESET Rotary switches to set the presets based on application and context of use.
-
AUDIO OUTPUT ("Output/Link") Connector compatible with balanced cables with XLR connectors. It is used for the output connection, both directly and with the link to another monitor (Link).
-
INPUT SENSITIVITY It allows adjusting the input sensitivity. Before starting monitor and system configuration, set at 0 dB.
-
STATUS LEDs ("Status") LEDs relating to module operation. Limiter: lights up in case of activation, and possibly provides a warning signal - to be checked - with cyclic flashing. ON/Signal: it lights up discontinuously/continuously signalling the presence of an input signal.
