Dangerous Music Monitor ST-SR speaker assignment guide
The Monitor ST and (2) Monitor SRs can be set up to accommodate stereo, 5.1, and .1 sessions. To
use the same subwoofer in stereo and surround, use the “Speaker 3” output jack on the top Monitor SR,
channel 6 for one sub and channels &8 for a two sub system.
For 5.1, the Left Rear and Right Rear speakers are the same as the Left Surround and Right Surround in
a .1 system. The following page has setup instructions to program the Monitor ST Remote.
Monitor ST Remote software for 7.1 systems
The Dangerous Monitor ST remote software has been updated to provide new features and
functions. Foremost in this revision is the capability of up to 12 channel systems permitting ST/SR to
be implemented in systems up to 10.2. Several other features have been added or improved all of which
are detailed below.
ABOVE 5.1
For system configurations larger than 5.1, a custom hardware arrangement will be required. For
this explanation, a .1 system will be described. The .1 system will require 1 stock Monitor ST, 1
stock Monitor SR, and 1 factory modified Monitor SR. The units will be installed in contiguous rack
spaces requiring 3U total of rack space. The remote wiring interconnections begin at Monitor ST and
loop through all Monitor SRs with the actual remote connection made at the last Monitor SR.

Once operational, the system will initially operate as a standard ST/SR arrangement capable of
5.1. The additional channels are activated from within the setup function. When setup is entered, select
the additional channels you require by pressing the associated mute button. For .1, press the L Rear
and R Rear buttons, lighting their LEDs.
Once setup is exited, the mute control of the additional channels above 5.1 are accessed by
pressing the PPI (Mute Shift) button. With the mute shift LED dim, the standard 5.1 channels are
accessed by the mute buttons as normal. With the Mute Shift indicator bright-up, the mute section focus
is shifted and the additional Left and Right Back channels are accessed by the mute buttons. Shifting
the mutes makes no changes to the image; it merely shifts the mute group focus and indications of the
muted channels. Because of this, the all-important true PPI functionality is still available if needed.
The Solo function is seamless between the 2 mute groups. If the Solo function is activated and
say, the Left Front speaker is soloed, all other outputs including those above 5.1 are muted. Shifting the
mute focus to the channels above 5.1 will indicate the muted state of those channels.
FABULOUS AUTO MONO
This function provides the ability to have a speaker selection programmed with the Mono
function engaged. You activate this feature from within the setup routine. Enter setup, make the speaker
selection that you would like to have a default mono setting and press the mono switch that will then
indicate mono, and the activated mono function can be heard. When setup is exited, every time that
speaker system is selected, the mono function will be automatically engaged by default. The mono
setting can be toggled manually with the Mono button. If the mono function is manually engaged,
changing speaker selections will not shut the mono function off. If the mono function is not manually
engaged, the mono function will follow the user defined defaults. From an initial state, all speakers are
stereo by default. Please note that the Mono Summing Feature only works on Stereo sources. It is not a
surround mix down feature. There are so many ways to mix down surround sources that this function
must be left up to software in the user's DAW or editor.
