MONITOR OUTPUT MENU
The Monitor Output sections each contain Protection Limiters, a useful feature when performing speaker calibrations,
♦
which are often performed at higher than normal volume levels and can involve radical amounts of parametric
equalization in the pursuit of a flat frequency response. When the limiters are active, orange bars in the corresponding
volume controls will appear indicating that the master gain should be reduced. The Master Gain control adjusts the
output level of each Monitor Output section relative to the Protection Limiter. You may also find that in the course of
calibration you have made significant cuts to achieve a flat output, and need to use this control to raise the output level so
that the calibrated and un-calibrated outputs match volume-wise when you compare them by using the Bypass control.
The Left Level and Right Level controls allow you to adjust the output gain of each channel individually and act as a sort
♦
of "balance" control in situations where the left and right speakers are not equally spaced from the monitor point.
The Solo Left and Solo Right controls allow you to monitor only the left or only the right channel.
♦
The Pink Noise Left and Pink Noise Right controls turn the pink noise generator in each channel on or off.

The Left High Pass Filter and Right High Pass Filter controls allow you to set the high pass filter cutoff point to avoid
♦
over-driving small speakers. When calibrating smaller bass-shy speakers, there will come a point where you can no
longer compensate for such a deficiency by EQ-ing, and it is more practical to simply not try and pass those frequencies at
all. That point will be clear on the RTA and is explained in more detail in the Speaker Calibration section. These controls
together with the Left and Right Low Pass Filter controls can also be used to simulate what your station will sound like on
a clock radio, as a type of litmus test to ensure that your processing is appropriate for all devices.
