MP-204D Stereo Audio Monitor Panel
MP-204D Manual
The MP-204D is a 2 rack unit sapce audio monitoring panel, featuring 2 stereo analog inputs, 2 digital
inputs, stereo amplifier, speakers, and level metering.
The audio inputs consist of two balanced stereo analog channels on XLR connectors, and two digital audio
channels, each with XLR (AES3) and BNC (AES3-ID) connectors. Input selections are made either using the
front panel switches, or remotely (via) contact closures, or RS-422 serial commands).
The selected audio channel is routed to the balanced XLR audio outputs, the front panel meters, the
internal speakers and/or the headphone jack. The meter zero reference for each analog input is
assignable to -10, 0, +4 or +8 dB. Four front panel Mode switches permit monitoring in stereo, left
channel only, right channel only, or mono sum (L+R). Mode selections may also be made remotely.
VU display has an 11 LED per channel display.
