MONITOR MASTER SECTION
The Monitor Master Section can be divided into the following sub-sections: Patching, Filtering, plus
Viewing and Controlling. The Patching section will explain the outputs and inserts found on each
Monitor Output. The Filtering section covers the Notch Filter Bank and Low Cut Filters. The LED
Meters, Master Monitor Faders, PFL and Wedge utilities are covered in the Viewing and Controlling
section.
Patching
Since you'll have to patch from the SRM to several combinations of EQ's, power amplifiers and
monitors, this section will cover the Monitor Outputs and Inserts (found at the top right-hand area of
your SRM, from the mix position) where such patching will take place. Once again you may refer to
the diagram (page 16) for ease of explanation.

4. Balanced Outputs: The SRM is equipped with 1 XLR balanced out-
put for each Monitor channel. This balanced output is +4 dBu.
Connecting from this output to the balanced input of your monitor power
amp is the preferred method of signal patching. The balanced output can
be used simultaneously with the Unbalanced Output (#5).
5. Unbalanced Outputs: A 1/4" unbalanced output is also provided for
each Monitor channel. This unbalanced output is +4 dBu. Connecting
from this output should only be done when it is not practical to use the
Balanced Output (#4) or when using both outputs simultaneously. This
situation occurs when using monitor amplifiers without balanced inputs.
Simply connect a quality shielded patch/instrument cable from this output
to the unbalanced input of your monitor amplifier. You will want to keep
this run of cable as short as possible to prevent noise. Once again, the
unbalanced output can be used simultaneously with the Balanced
Output (#4).
6. Send/Return Jacks: A Send/Return (effects loop) is provided for
Master Monitor Outputs 1-8. This allows you to route the particular
Monitor Send through an external device such as an EQ, compressor, or
delay. This is done pre-fader [before the Master Monitor Fader (#15), the
Notch Filter, and the Monitor Outputs (#4 and #5)]. Both the Send Jack
and the Return Jack (0 dBu) are balanced TRS 1/4" connectors where
the tip is positive, the ring is negative, and the sleeve is ground.
The Send/Return Jacks have internal switches which, when not used,
continue signal flow between the monitor mix and its main output.
Inserting a plug into either jack will discontinue the signal flow until it is
properly returned via the Return Jack.
7. Aux In Jacks: An auxiliary input is provided for each Monitor Send.
This balanced TRS 1/4" input (+4 dBu) allows an external signal to be fed
directly to the corresponding monitor bus, pre-fader. This is a great point
to add a signal from another sub-mixer or to chain an additional SRM
mixer output bus allowing for additional channel inputs from the stage
(tip + and ring -).
