The returns are ideally suited to select recorders, DAW, audio players, and so on. All Input buttons allow for switching between the input monitoring mode and the output monitoring mode. Press once, the input button is permanently illuminated. The output signal after the Master Fader is monitored. The input signal after the input Phase Reverse switch is monitored. This way, you can easily compare what comes in and what goes out of the console. IMPORTANT: Selecting the return monitoring mode overrules input and output monitoring modes. NOTE: All MMC 2 buttons allow for individual labeling. Sources Stereo Input A Stereo Input B Stereo Return A Stereo Return B M-CH. Return D Input Trims An input selected in the Source section is routed to the Input Trims section. This section provides On and Phase Reverse switches, a high-grade ALPS potentiometer with 41 steps and +/-10dB gain range allows for input trimming. 7 -1 0 1 2 -2 ø Rev 3 -3 4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 8 -8 9 -9 -10 dB 10 8 -1 0 1 2 -2 ø Rev 3 -3 4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 8 -8 9 -9 -10 dB 10 Lt/o Trim On Rt/o Input Trim On 7 Control Elements Insert/Return Insert On Return On Insert Return The MMC 2 offers an Insert/Return point after the Input Trims to include external processing equipment into the signal path. Speaker Management Solo to Center Monitoring LFE L t/o R t/o LFE to L/C/R L C R LS RS Monitoring functions comprise a Speaker Management section, a Monitors selection section and the Monitor Level fader. Each output channel must be activated by the Fader On switch in the respective Output Trim section to be controlled by the master fader. With this control's extremely fine level settings, the engineer can attain every ounce of recording headroom. The result, thanks to these controls of infinite resolution, is an unparalleled excellence in dynamic mastering. Master Fader Output Trims The Output Trims are based on the same high-quality ALPS potentiometers like in the Input section and the gain range also covers +/-10dB. Each output can be activated or deactivated separately with the ON switch, the Fader On switch routes each output to the Master Fader. 7 -1 0 1 2 -2 Fader 3 -3 On 4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 8 -8 9 -9 -10 dB 10 8 -1 0 1 2 -2 Fader 3 -3 On 4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 8 -8 9 -9 -10 dB 10 Lt/o Trim On Rt/o Output Trim On 9 Option: Master Bay MasterBay The MMC 2 can optionally be complemented with an automated insert box called MasterBay. The MasterBay consists of an 8U insert box and a remote control panel. Up to eight 8-channel processors can be connected to the insert box, which is operated by the MasterBay remote panel. Store/ Recall Store Sequence Position Processor Selection Processor 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 1 With the MasterBay the engineer can specify up to four routings, called sequences, which can be stored and re-called. The remote panel provides a button for each of the eight external processors. Depressing these in sequence switches among choices in processor signal flow. Next to the buttons is a seven segment LED-display indicating the current position of the processors in the sequence. The mastering engineer can use this feature to compare between sequences in a varying order or to compare the same type of processors--such as in the case of an equalizer from Manufacturer A and one of Manufacturer B.
