MAIN and ALT monitor outputs

The monitor section has two sets of balanced outputs for loudspeakers labelled MAIN MONITOR
and ALT MONITOR (See rear connector layout below). By default, the MAIN MONITOR output
is used. Pressing the ALT key on the front panel switches the Monitor feed to the ALT MONITOR
output. Both Main and Alt outputs use balanced ¼" jack Sockets on the rear connector panel.
The Monitor outputs are Off when the Monitor Level is fully anti-clockwise (0) and at unity when
fully clockwise (11).
Below the Monitor Level control are buttons for DIM and CUT. The CUT button mutes all of the
monitor outputs. The DIM button lowers the monitor output level as controlled by the DIM level
knob which is directly above the Monitor Level control in the Monitor Source section.
The MONO switch sums the monitor output to Mono with a -3 dB level drop.
