Front Panel Operation
The BM-A1-64DANTE provides a very intuitive front
panel interface that allows the user to monitor any
audio channels present on the front panel.
All 64 channels are represented on the front panel.
Each channel includes a green/red Signal Present
LED
and a blue Channel Select LED
While rotating the SEL encoder
Select LED will scroll across the channels indicating
which channel is active.
There are two methods of monitoring:
•
Single channel monitor mode - monitoring of one
channel at a time.
•
Multi-channel monitor mode - simulteneous
monitoring of multiple channels.
Single channel monitor mode
Single channel monitor mode is the default mode of
the BM-A1-64DANTE. If no channels are routed to
the monitor speakers (i.e., no blue Channel Select
LEDs are illuminated on the front panel) then simply
turning the SEL encoder will allow you to monitor
each channel in turn.
As the SEL encoder is turned the blue Channel Select
LED will scroll through each channel in turn. Stop
turning the SEL encoder at the required channel.This
method of monitoring is ideal if only one channel is to
be monitored at a time. The Channel Select LED and
the channel number between the bargraph meters
indicate which channel is currently being monitored.
The channel selected will be routed to both left and
right speakers.

Hint: the quickest way to enter single channel mode
if blue Channel Select LEDs are visible on the front
panel is to press and hold the clear button (CLR
- see "Front Panel Description" on page 7 and
"Clearing an entire monitor mix" on page 12).

Multi-channel monitor mode
The BM-A1-64DANTE is capable of monitoring
multiple channels simultaneously. This is achieved by
use of the SEL/PAN control
When turning the SEL encoder, the blue Channel
Select LED will flash for a period of time (approximately
2 seconds). When the LED is flashing the monitor is
in audition mode (whereby it allows the user to hear
what is on that channel, over and above any other
channels that may already selected in the mix - think
of it as a temporary solo mode as found on a mixing
console). While the LED is flashing it is possible to
route that channel to the monitor mix by pushing
the SEL/PAN encoder in. The first press routes the
channel to the left speaker. Pressing it again routes
that channel to the right speaker. Further presses
route the channel to both speakers and then clears
the channel. This way it is possible to select a channel
and decide which speaker(s) it should be routed to.
Scroll through channels and push SEL to select (when blue LED is flashing)
