Installation & User Manual for
the Model TM-1 Sound Monitor
Odyssey Products, Inc.

Page 2 of 11
ATTENTION INSTALLER:
These TM-1 Monitors are equipped with a new switch latching circuit. It replaces the mechanical latch
mechanism built into older push buttons with an electronic equivalent.
The operation of the switches remains the same. The only difference will be that Left, Center, and Right
channels will be selected each time the TM-1 Monitor is powered up.
These units are designed with a sticker that reads “TM1-EL”

TM-1 Sound Monitor
This product is intended for commercial use and for installation in an equipment cabinet designed for
commercial use. This installation manual is for use by qualified personnel only. Do not open the unit or
perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
Connect the Power Con power connector to the monitor before plugging into the power receptacle. For
protection against electric shock, a three-pin, correctly wired and earthed power outlet must be used. Do
not us a ground-lifting adapter and never cut the ground pin on the three-prong plug.
Check that the correct fuse has been installed. To reduce the risk of fire, replace with fuse only with the
same type and rating.

User Manual for the TM-1 Sound Monitor
Front Panel Features
1. Channel Select Buttons – Select one or all of the monitored channels.
2. Signal Present Indicators – Indicates audio information on amplifier channels.
3. Processor/Amplifiers Selector Switch – Selects whether processor or amplifier inputs.
4. Volume Control – Controls the volume of the internal speaker.
5. Speaker
The TM-1 Monitor provides monitoring of the following channels:
•L, C, R (Left Channel, Center Channel, and Right Channel)
•SP1 and SP2 (Special 1 and Special 2) – can be used to monitor Left Center and Right Center
Channels, or Left EX and Right EX Surround Channels.
•LS, RS, SW (Left Surround, Right Surround, Subwoofer or Sub-Bass)
Select the channel to be monitored by pushing the appropriate Channel Select button on the TM-
1. Once the button is pushed that channel remains selected until the button is pushed again. A red LED
on the button will light when the button is activated. Pushing all eight Channel Select buttons will
cause all channels to be heard simultaneously on the monitor speaker.
The Signal Present LED’s under each switch indicate audio information on the amplifier
channel. These LED’s are independent of the Channel Select buttons, and the Processor/Amplifier
switch.

The Processor/Amplifier switch selects between the signals coming from the Analog Processor,
and the signals coming from the output of the power amplifiers.
The Volume control varies the level of the internal speaker, but does not change an input levels,
or the Hearing-Impaired output level.
For bi-amplified and tri-amplified sound systems: When monitoring a stage channel in amplifier
mode, what is monitored is a sum of the low, mid and high frequencies.
Back Panel Features
1. Fuse Holder – accepts fuses 1 ¼” X ¼” AGC fuses
2. Powercon Power Connector – Connector for the external plug-in transformer.
3. Processor Inputs Connector – DB25 female connector, accepts Odyssey Breakout Boards.
4. Input Level Adjustment Potentiometers – 1 each for processor level and amplifier level.
5. Amplifier Inputs Connector – DB37 female connector, accepts Odyssey Output 37 Card.
The external power pack is terminated with a blue Powercon connector. It is unplugged from the
TM-1 by pulling back on the metal tab and twisting the connector counter-clockwise slightly. Pull the
connector straight out of the socket. The powercon connector is plugged in by inserting it straight into
the socket, then twisting clockwise slightly until the metal tab slicks forward and locks.
To remove the fuse, pull the fuse holder cover down until it unlocks. Slide the cover out like a
drawer. Remove the fuse from the clip. To close the fuse holder, push the cover in and then up slightly
until is clicks into place. The correct fuse is a 1 ¼” X ¼” AGC Normal Blow Fuse (1.5 Amps)
The processor Inputs connector is a DB25 female. It has the same pin configuration as a THX
monitor. It will accept the following Odyssey breakout cards:
•Model Input 25 – wires from a passive processor are terminated to the on-board terminal strip.

•Model Input 25/2 – same as the Input 25, but with an extra DB25 connector.
•Model TM1-BI – sums the low and high frequencies on the stage channels from a bi-amplified
analog processor
It can also be hooked up directly to the Monitor Out Connector on the Sony DFP 3000 Processor.
The Amplifier Inputs connector is a DB37 female. It accepts the Odyssey Breakout Card Model
Output37. Wires from the amplifier outputs are connected to the terminal strips on the Output37 card.
Refer to the above pages for a complete list of the pin configurations for the DB connectors and
the breakout cards.
There are two input level control potentiometers that are accessed from the back of the TM-1.
There is one for processor levels, and one for amplifier levels. These are used to trim the two sets of
inputs until the sound levels match switching between Processor to Amplifier on the front panel.
The TM-1 Monitor also provides a Hearing-Impaired output. This output can be used to feed
hearing-impaired assisted devices. It is a fixed-level signal formed from summing Left, Center, and
Right Channels (internally). This output is not affected by the Volume Control, or by the Input Level
Adjustment Potentiometers.
