About Monitor/Solo

"Monitor" is a function that takes an input channel or output bus selected as the monitor source and outputs it to an output connector or
headphones for monitoring. The M-5000 is equipped with a monitor function that supports up to 5.1 channels, for an extremely high degree of
freedom.
Output-bus monitoring uses the POST FDR signal, and input-channel monitoring uses the CH TOP signal.
The M-5000 is equipped with two completely independent monitor systems (MONITOR 1 and MONITOR 2). For MONITOR 1, you can select from
among 5.1, LCR, STEREO, and NONE (no assignment), and for MONITOR 2, you can select either STEREO or NONE (no assignment).
Using two monitor systems lets you monitor using different devices, such as an in-ear monitor on MONITOR 1 and a monitor speaker on MONITOR 2.
Also, setting one or both to NONE (no assignment) when two monitor systems are not needed lets you free up audio paths.
0"Changing the Number of Input Channels/Output Buses" (p. 79)
You can select whether to use MONITOR 1 or MONITOR 2 for headphones output.
To use the PHONES 1/2 jacks, go to the MIXER CONFIGURATION window and set "HEADPHONES" to STEREO.
The M-5000 is also equipped with two solo systems (SOLO 1 and SOLO 2) for the two monitor systems.
The unit has SOLO 1 for MONITOR 1 and SOLO 2 for MONITOR 2, and you can select from among the following three types of behavior by pressing the
appropriate [SOLO] button on the top panel.
SOLO 1
Turns feed to SOLO 1 on/off.
SOLO 2 Turns feed to SOLO 2 on/off.
SOLO 1+2 Turns both feed to SOLO 1 and feed to SOLO 2 on/off.
The functioning of the [SOLO] button (SOLO 1, SOLO 2, or SOLO 1+2) is selected by the function mode of the fader bank section.

Solo uses no spaces on the M-5000's channel strip.

Solo Priority

Priority for solos is set as follows.
3 Input channel
(High)
Priority 2 DCA
(Low)
1 Output buses
Solos operate according to rules like the following.
5 Switching on a high-priority solo makes it temporarily replace a low-priority solo. Canceling the high-priority solo makes the low-priority solo
return.
5 Switching on a low-priority solo cancels all higher-priority solos.

Solo in Place

Solo in Place is a function that outputs an input channel whose [SOLO] button is on and mutes input channels whose [SOLO] buttons are off.
To activate Solo in Place, go to the top panel and press and hold the [SOLO IN PLACE] button for 2 seconds, or go to the MONITOR window and tap
<IN PLACE>.
