SMART MN596 Active Stereo Booth Monitor Overview

MN596 Active Stereo Booth Monitor
Overview. The MN596 6-channel Stereo booth monitor is unique in that it plays stereo
movies in the booth. Unlike standard booth monitors that can select only one channel at a time,
or make a composite monaural playback from several channels, the MN596 can present a
panoramic stereo sound to the operator or technician. The monitor contains two 10 Watt power
amplifiers and two wide range loundspeakers, and accepts 6-channel signals from either bi-
amplified two-way systems or conventional single broadband systems.
Listening Modes. The right knob controls listening mode. When set to AMP STEREO or
PROC STEREO, the MN596 sends Left and Center channel signals to the left speaker, and Right
and Center channel signals to the right speaker, creating a stereo sound with a "phantom" center
channel. The left knob selects the individual channel monitored in the AMPLIFIER and PRO-
CESSOR listening modes. STANDBY mode disconnects all monitoring signals, but does not
power down the system.
Connections. The MN596 has Phoenix connector inputs for
amplifier and processor signals, as well as an alternate THX standard
DB25 processor connection (see diagram at right). Simply connect
appropriate amplifier and processor signals to the indicated Phoenix
positions.
For systems that are not bi-amplified, connect the LEFT, CENTER
and RIGHT amplifier signals to the LEFT LOW, CENTER LOW, and
RIGHT LOW "FROM AMPLIFIER" inputs respectively.
