Normal Configuration

Now that you have confidence that the signals do appear on the main program outputs, this
would be a good time to unplug the amplifier driving your speakers from the STE 1 L & R
(PROG) outputs, and connect it to the control room monitor (MONITOR CTRL RM) output using
a Stereo 1/4" Jack plug.
Although many studios have their own designations, for our monitoring purposes the room in
which the RM1d is located is termed the 'Control Room', and a separate area, (e.g. an interview
booth or talk studio), would be termed the 'Studio'.
You may find that with the speakers connected to this Monitor output, you can no longer hear
the Microphone connected to Channel 1.
You can select a variety of Monitor sources for your Control Room and Studio speakers. In this
instance you should select the STE 1 (PROG) button on the Control Room Monitor panel.
The volume of the speakers can be adjusted using the Monitor control and the speakers can be
entirely silenced by pressing the MUTE button. Note that these controls affect only what is
heard through the monitors and headphones, NOT what is sent to AIR over the main STEREO
programme outputs.
