Surround Monitoring

The 02R96 features comprehensive surround monitoring functions, including a pink noise
generator for speaker setup, Bass Management, and down mixing.
The Surround Monitor signal source is selected by using the SUR-
ROUND buttons. The [BUS] button selects the Bus Outs as the source.
The [SLOT] button selects the Inputs of the Slots specified on the Sur-
round Monitor page as the source. Surround mixes from up to four mul-
titrack recorders can be monitored by patching Slot Inputs to Surround
Monitor Channels (see page 141) and selecting with the [SLOT] button.
The level of the Surround Monitor can be set by using the SURROUND
MONITOR LEVEL control.
Surround monitor speakers can be aligned by using the individual Attenuator and Delay
parameters on each Surround Monitor Channel. In addition to the standard Ls and Rs
speakers, the 02R96 supports Ls2 and Rs2 speakers, with independent Attenuator and Delay
parameters, for a more diffused surround monitoring environment. See "Configuring Sur-
round Monitoring" on page 139 for more information.
Surround Monitor Channels can be patched to Slot Outputs or Omni Outputs. See "Output
Patching" on page 68 for more information.
Surround Monitor settings can be stored in the Surround Monitor library, which contains
1 preset memory and 32 user memories. See "Surround Monitor Library" on page 152 for
more information.
General surround monitoring is performed on the Surround Monitor page.
Use the MONITOR [DISPLAY] button to locate the Surround Monitor page.

2 Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters, and use the Parameter
wheel, INC/DEC buttons, and [ENTER] button to set them.
The number of speaker icons and meters shown on the Surround Monitor page depends on
the currently selected Surround mode. The meters indicate Bus Out signal levels.
MUTE/SOLO: These parameters are used to mute and solo Surround Channels. A Sur-
round Channel is on when its speaker icon is highlighted. Speaker icons can be selected by
using the cursor buttons. When SOLO is on, Surround Channels can be soloed by selecting
speaker icons and pressing [ENTER].
SETTING: These buttons are used to select which Slot's Inputs are monitored when the
SURROUND [SLOT] button is pressed. Up to four Slots can be assigned, and the signals
from each Slot are mixed. Individual Slot Inputs can be patched to Surround Monitor
Channels on the Surround Monitor Patch page (see page 141).
When the MONITOR L/R to C-R button is on, the Left and Right Surround Monitor Chan-
nels are fed to the Control Room Monitors. This is useful when you want to use the same
speakers for Left and Right Surround Monitors and Control Room Monitors.
