Installation

Follow these steps to set up your Nowsonic Switcher Monitor Controller:

  1. Placement: Place the Switcher on a stable, flat surface near your audio source and monitoring systems. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
  2. Connexion d'entrée audio : Connect the stereo output of your audio source (e.g., audio interface, mixer, media player) to the input jacks on the rear panel of the Nowsonic Switcher. Use high-quality balanced or unbalanced cables as appropriate for your equipment.
  3. Monitor Output Connection: Connect your primary monitoring system (e.g., studio monitors, headphones amplifier) to the "Output 1" jacks on the rear panel. If you have a secondary monitoring system, connect it to the "Output 2" jacks.
  4. Pouvoir: As the Nowsonic Switcher is a passive device, it does not require an external power supply.
  5. Réglage initial du volume : Before powering on your audio source and monitors, ensure the volume knob on the Switcher is set to its minimum position (fully counter-clockwise, towards "MIN").

Note: Always ensure all connections are secure before operating your audio equipment to prevent damage or unexpected noise.

Mode d'emploi

The Nowsonic Switcher provides intuitive control over your audio monitoring.

  • Contrôle du volume : The large central knob controls the output volume. Rotate clockwise to increase volume (towards "MAX") and counter-clockwise to decrease volume (towards "MIN").
  • Fonction muet : The volume knob also features a mute function. Fully rotate the knob counter-clockwise past the "MIN" position to engage the mute function. The audio output will be silenced. Rotate clockwise to disengage mute and restore audio.
  • Sélection de sortie : The LED indicator on the front panel indicates the currently active output. Press the button next to the LED to toggle between "Output 1" and "Output 2". The LED will illuminate next to the selected output.
  • Chemin du signal : Remember that the Switcher is a passive device. It does not amplify the signal but attenuates it. Ensure your audio source provides a sufficient signal level for your monitoring needs.
