SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The SPIRIT MONITOR 2 mixer must only be connected
through the Power Supply supplied.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with thefollowing code:
Earth: Green and Yellow
(Green/Yellow - US)
Neutral: Blue
(White - US)
Live: Brown
(Black - US)
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
l The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol.
l The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N.
l The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L.
Ensure that these colour codings are followed carefully in the
event of the plug being changed.
To avoid the risk of fire, replace the mains fuse only with
the correct value fuse, as marked on the rear panel.
INTRODUCTIONThank you for purchasing a Monitor 2 mixer, brought to you with pride by the SPIRIT team of Andy, Colin,

MONITOR SENDSThese controls route the input channel signal to any one or more Monitor
busses and the associated Monitor Outputs, allowing a number of unique
monitor mixes to be created. The sends are arranged as a group of mono
sends (1-8) and two stereo pairs (9/10 & 11/12). Each group of sends is
normally POST-FADE, POST-EQ but may be switched to PRE-FADE,
POST-EQ by pressing the corresponding PRE switch. All sends are mutedwhen the MUTE switch (9) is pressed. Sends 9-12 are arranged as two
stereo pairs, with a send level control and a PAN control to position the
channel signal in the stereo image. With the PAN control centered, the
signal is fed equally to both sends in the pair. You get most control when the
input Sensitivity is set up correctly, giving maximum travel on the send
controls. See the `Setting Up & Troubleshooting section on page 8 for help
in setting a suitable signal level.
MUTEAll monitor sends are disabled when the MUTE switch is down, and the
associated amber LED illuminates to show that the switch is pressed.
FADERThe FADER provides overall level control of any Monitor Sends which are
selected as post-fade. You get most control when the input Sensitivity is set
up correctly, giving full travel on the fader. See the `Setting Up &
Troubleshooting section on page 8 for help in setting a suitable signal level.
SIGNAL LEDThis green LED illuminates to show that a signal with a level greater than
-20dB is present in the channel.
PFL/PEAKWhen the latching PFL switch is pressed, the pre-fade, post-EQ signal is fedto the headphones and engineers wedge outputs, replacing the selected
wedge source and illuminating the SOLO/PFL LED on the Master section to
show that a PFL is active. The adjacent red LED lights to identify the
selected channel. This is a useful way of listening to any required input
signal without interrupting any of the monitor sends, for making
adjustments or tracing problems.
When the PFL switch is released the LED serves as a PEAK indicator which
illuminates approximately 4dB before clipping to give warning of a possible
overload. The signal is sampled at two points in the EQ section and at the
Insert Send.9
