MONO OUTPUT

It happens to everybody sooner or later:
The forces that govern your world will demand
a monaural output from your painstakingly-
created stereo panorama. The last thing you

mono mix and you've still got your stereo mix.

MONO LEVEL

If Mr. Mono's main mono mix is maxed, just
reach for this knob and turn it down a bit. Just

puts like camcorders, telephone interface
boxes, even answering machines. With the pot
all the way up (fully clockwise), you'll have
6 dB of extra gain, and unity gain is at the 12
o'clock position.
