Controls and Functions
9. MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL – This knob
determines the final output signal level.
Signals from all channels are routed
here just before leaving the SM10 via
its left and right Main Output jacks. The
12 o'clock center detent position of the
control indicates unity gain (no level
attenuation or boost).
10. SOURCE Select Switch – The Source
select Switch allows you to configure the
Output Meter (see #11) and Headphone
output (see #15) to monitor the MON,
EFX, MIX B and Main Output buses.
11. Output Meter – This six-segment meter shows the continuous output level
of the Main Mix, MON, EFX, or MIX B, depending on the position of the
SOURCE select switch (see #10). For optimum signal-to-noise ratio,
adjust all levels so that program material is usually at or around 0 VU, with
occasional, but not steady, excursions to the red segments.
12. MON OUT LEVEL – The SM10 provides a second MON output connector
carrying a mono signal of the MON mix. The MON OUT LEVEL control knob is
used to set the volume of the MON OUT jack.
13. MON OUT Jack – The left and right MON mix are summed together to a
monaural signal and sent out this connector. The signal at the MON OUT jack
follows the MON OUT LEVEL (see #12) control knob.
14. HEADPHONE LEVEL – This knob sets the level of the signal sent to the
HEADPHONE jack. To avoid possible damage to connected headphones,
always turn this all the way off (to the fully counterclockwise position) before
plugging in a pair of headphones—then raise the level slowly while listening.
15. HEADPHONE Jack – Connect standard stereo headphones to this jack (via a
1/4" TRS plug) for monitoring of the MON, EFX, MIX B and Main Output
buses, depending on the position of the SOURCE select switch (see #10).
