  • Page 9: An Overview

    An overview Monarke models There are several Monarke models which may have been the basic model to the development of your particular instrument. Below follows a brief description of these basic models. In this user’s manual we may refer back to one of these basic models when describing certain controls.

  • Page 10: Monarke Model "Vermeer

    The entire cabinet (or console with loudspeaker front) is designed by you, the client, in consultation with JOHANNUS Orgelbouw. As all the controls described in this manual may occur in a Monarke Custom, this model will not be referred to in this manual.

    2. To fit the pedalboard well, it may be necessary to tilt the instrument a little backward. 3. Shift the pedalboard as close as possible against the black pedalboard panel Instruments with an AGO pedalboard allow the pedalboard to be fixed to the cabinet with two brass pins supplied. Monarke JOHANNUS JOHANNUS JOHANNUS...

  • Page 12: The Music Desk

    Fixed music desk This type of music desk is supplied only with the Monarke model "Van Eyck". This music desk rests partly between the stop consoles of the main cabinet and the two outer loudspeaker boxes. To enable the main cabinet and the loudspeaker boxes to form a unit, the music desk must be fixed.

  • Page 13: Horizontally Adjustable Music Desk

    Horizontally and vertically adjustable music desk Another music desk featured by the Monarke models "Vermeer" and "Van Gogh" is a both horizontally and vertically adjustable one. This music desk can be horizontally adjusted by pulling it towards you or pushing it away In either case the music desk is automatically blocked at the tips.

  • Page 14: Locking Up

    Locking up The Monarke models "Vermeer" and "Van Gogh" have a lockable console. Warning You can lock the organ without using of the key. However, the key is necessary to open the organ. Therefore, always take care that the key is not left within the console before...

  • Page 16: Stops

    ! Lighted rocker tab ! Movable drawstop Wooden drawstops The Monarke models "Van Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck" are usually fitted with wooden drawstops. A stop can be turned on (activated) by pulling a stop. A stop can be turned off (deactivated) by pushing in a stop.

  • Page 17: Lighted Rocker Tabs

    Lighted rocker tabs On the Monarke models "Vermeer" and "Van Gogh" the accessories may be designed as lighted rocker tabs. After activating or deactivating a stop, a lighted rocker tab springs back to the central position. For that reason each stop has a little lamp which lights up as soon as the stop is activated.

  • Page 19: Pedalboard Lighting And Music Desk Lighting

    Usually the pedalboard lighting and / or the music desk lighting is switched on or off when the instrument is switched on or off. Your instrument may, however, have been fitted with a separate on / off switch for the pedalboard lighting and / or music desk lighting. Monarke JOHANNUS JOHANNUS JOHANNUS...

  • Page 20: The Console In Detail

    To achieve a good symmetry between the left and right stop console and utilizing the space optimally, the Monarke models "Van Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck" are fitted with one of the (BDO) order of stops as shown in the diagram on the next page:...
  • Page 21 (tacet stops). Possibly your instrument can be extended later by replacing these stops with speaking stops. The Monarke models "Vermeer" and "Van Gogh" know great variation in order of stops. Below some examples.

  • Page 24: Thumb Pistons

    Lighted thumb pistons are finished as switches which spring back to the central position after switching on or off. In each thumb piston a lamp has been fitted that comes on as soon as it is activated. Monarke JOHANNUS JOHANNUS...

  • Page 25: Lighted Thumb Piston)

    Exceptions are the couplers and the tremulants if the FA-piston is pressed, and the stops Chorus, Intonation 2 and the MIDI-stops. N.B. On instruments with wooden drawstops (Monarke models "Van Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck") the 0-piston has the same function as the HR-piston. The description of the HR-piston can be found further on in this chapter.

    If there is not enough space on the stop consoles or under the music desk (Monarke models "Van Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck") the coupler stops can also be (lighted) thumb pistons located under the keyboards.

  • Page 27: Hand Registration (Lighted Thumb Piston)

    HR = Hand registration (lighted thumb piston) The HR-piston is found only on instruments with wooden drawstops (Monarke models "Van Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck"). By pressing this thumb piston, you change from a fixed (preset) or a free (capture) combination to hand registration.

  • Page 28: Non-Lighted Thumb Piston)

    HR (non-lighted thumb piston) The HR-piston is only found on instruments with wooden drawstops (Monarke models "Van Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck"). By pressing this thumb piston, you change from a fixed (preset) or a free (capture) combination to hand registration. As soon as you press the HR-piston, only the manually switched on (drawn) stops will sound.

  • Page 32: Manual Couplers

    Apart from the sub and super couplers between the manuals, sub and super couplers functioning within the same manual (intramanual couplers) may be fitted. When an instrument has sub and super couplers besides the usual couplers, the difference between the various couplers will be marked with a footage indication.. Monarke JOHANNUS JOHANNUS JOHANNUS...

On e.g. an instrument with six amplifiers per division, it is possible that for each division 1½ loudspeaker connector is used. Monarke JOHANNUS JOHANNUS JOHANNUS...
