Description
There are at present six models in the MS Series. This manual describes them all, so there may be
sections which do not apply to your particular unit. The various models differ primarily in the types
and number of signals they can monitor: from 2 to 4 analog or digital audio channels, and one video
channel. The six models are:
MS2A-1 2 Channel, Analog Audio
MS2AD-1 2 Channel, Analog/Digital Audio
MS4A-1 4 Channel, Analog Audio
MS4AD-1 4 Channel, Analog/Digital Audio
MS2AV-1 2 Channel, Analog Audio, Video
MS2ADV-1 2 Channel, Analog/Digital Audio, Video
All models share many basic features and capabilities, such as: full range shielded stereo speakers
with SPEAKER MUTE switch; slide-style VOLUME control; PHASE indicator (mono-compatibility);
front panel VU/PPM BALLISTICS selector; full 14 segment meters with DIMMER; HEADPHONE
jack; XLR balanced inputs and outputs, each with a SIGNAL activity indicator; output GAIN TRIM; a
UL/CE-approved external power supply; and a clean, modular design with minimal cabling, all in a
compact, single rack space chassis.
Models with digital monitoring capability also include an A/D SELECT button and front and rear
digital SIGNAL indicators. Video models include an LCD video monitor with associated COLOR,
TINT, CONTRAST, and BRIGHTNESS controls, which automatically senses and displays NTSC and
PAL signals. Four channel models include LEFT and RIGHT CHANNEL SELECTOR switches to assign
any input to the left and right analog outputs. Non-video units feature a BALANCE slider to adjust the
left/right position of the stereo image.
Because the speakers in the MS Series are magnetically shielded, no special consideration is required
for installation in critical locations near video monitors.
