TM-2 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 Speakon 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.

2. Buttons –
•Select Channel – selects channel to be monitored
•Format – select amplifier inputs or processor inputs
•Volume Up/Down – master volume
3. Signal Present Indicators – Indicates audio information on amplifier channels
4. Speaker
The TM-1 Monitor provides monitoring of the following channels:
•L, C, R (Left Channel, Center Channel, and Right Channel)
•External and Extra 2 – can be used to monitor Left Center and Right Center Channels, or Left EX
and Right EX Surround Channels.
•LS, RS (Left Surround, Right Surround)
NOTE: The TM-2 only monitors the subwoofer signal from the amplifier and displays it only on the
signal present LED
•The default mode for the TM-2 is L+C+R in processor mode.
•The volume default is 3.0.

•Pressing the channel select button changes the channel to be monitored. After 30 seconds, if no
buttons are pressed the TM-2 will revert to L+C+R. Format will remain in the last mode selected
(processor or amplifier).
•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. Speakon 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 Speakon connector. It is unplugged from the
TM-2 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
TMAMP37. Wires from the amplifier outputs are connected to the terminal strips on the TMAMP37
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-2 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.
