1.1.2 Initial operation  
1. Introduction  
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling.  
To avoid overheating, do not place the MON800 on top of power amps  
or near radiators, etc.  
The MON800 features a clearly structured input section with four  
selectable and mixable stereo inputs, as well as a high-precision,  
6-digit LED output level meter for accurate level control. It also  
includes a powerful headphones output with its own volume control,  
plus three selectable stereo loudspeaker outputs with separate  
volume controls for optimum adjustment.  
To power the MON800, use only the power supply unit that is  
delivered with your equipment.  
Please ensure that the unit is installed and operated only by  
people qualified to do so. During installation and operation  
the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth.  
Electrostatic discharge may affect the operation of the unit.  
The Mute and Dim functions as well as a mono switch for checking  
signals for mono compatibility (phase) give the MON800 even  
greater flexibility. The integrated talk-back section with its  
built-in microphone provides you with a full set of routing options.  
High-quality potentiometers and backlit switches ensure long-term  
reliability. What is more, our extremely low-noise operational  
amplifiers are synonymous for outstanding audio quality.

2. MON800 Quick-Start Set-Up  
Fig. 2.1: MON800 quick-start set-up  
Please follow the instructions below to set up the MON800 as a  
monitor unit with different speakers in your studio.  
Switch off the A speakers and activate the B speakers. Use SPK  
B + C LEVEL to adjust a volume level that is roughly the same as  
the A speakers volume.  
Connect your computer or any other line-level source to the MIX  
IN A connectors on the MON800.  
Switch between the two pairs of speakers to check the volume  
levels. Align the volume if necessary.  
Connect your main monitor speakers to the SPEAKERS OUT A  
connectors, and another pair of speakers to the B outputs.  
By switching between the two pairs of speakers you can  
evaluate your mixes by way of a direct comparison using two  
different monitor systems.  
Press the MIX A switch in the SOURCE section.  
Use the 2-TR OUT LED display to check the signal level. If the CLIP  
LED lights up, please reduce the input signal level until it settles  
between the -6 dB and +6 dB markings.  
The switches A and B allow you to switch the pairs of speakers  
on and off. Activate the A speakers and adjust the desired  
volume with SPK A LEVEL.

(1) Use the four switches in the SOURCE section to select up to four  
input sources (MIX A and B, CD/TAPE C and D) for monitoring  
and recording. If desired, several sources can be activated at  
the same time. Subsequently, the signals are mixed. Each active  
source is indicated by its switch lighting up.  
(7) With the MUTE switch you can disable all loudspeaker and  
headphones outputs.  
(8) The MONO switch switches all monitor paths to mono. This is  
useful, in particular, when you want to check your mix for  
mono compatibility. Extreme panorama settings and excessive  
use of effects, such as chorus, phaser and flanger in the  
stereo mix can lead to signal cancellations during playback in  
mono. Such phase problems can easily be detected with the  
MONO switch.  
(2) The two LED displays are for monitoring the output level of the  
2-TRACK OUT outputs. They comprise 6 LEDs each. When the  
CLIP LED lights up, this indicates that distortion may occur.  
In this case, please reduce the levels of the signal sources  
connected to the input of the MON800.  
(9) The DIM switch lowers the level of the monitor paths by -20 dB.  
This allows you, for example, to talk to somebody while mixing  
without losing track of the recording.  
(3) A pair of headphones with a 1" TRS connector (e.g. BEHRINGER  
HPS5000) can be connected to the PHONES jack. This output is  
wired in parallel with the rear-panel output jack (15), so that up  
to two headphones can be used at the same time.  
Switches (7) to (9) light up when the corresponding  
functions are active. The functions performed by  
these switches do not affect the signals of the two  
2-TRACK OUT outputs.  
(4) With the PHONES LEVEL control you can adjust the  
volume for the two headphones jacks on the front or rear  
panel respectively.

talk-back microphone.  
(11) The talk-back microphone is installed behind the MIC openings.  
Speak into the microphone to make announcements which are  
then routed to the recording devices connected to the 2-TRACK  
OUT outputs. This allows you to record the numbers or names  
of different recording takes, for example, and thus maintain a  
clear overview of your work. Additionally, the microphone can  
be used to communicate with the musicians who can hear your  
voice on their headphones.  
(5) SPK A LEVEL governs the volume level of the SPEAKERS OUT A  
outputs (18). SPK B + C LEVEL allows you to set the volume for  
outputs B and C (17) simultaneously.  
(6) Use the switches A/B/C ON to switch the speakers A, B and C on  
and off. While mixing it is advisable to listen to your production  
over at least two different pairs of speakers, so as to get an  
objective impression of your mix. If you wish to switch between  
different monitoring systems, press the corresponding switches  
of the active and of the inactive speaker pair one after the  
other. Active speakers are always indicated by their switches  
lighting up.

MINIMON MON800 User Manual  
(12) The TALK TO CUE/PHONES/SPK A and TALK TO 2-TR OUT  
buttons determine where the talk-back microphone signal is  
routed to. With the TALK TO CUE/PHONES/SPK A button the  
signal is routed to the monitor paths CUE OUT, PHONES, PH and  
SPEAKERS OUT A. In this case, the DIM function (9) is activated  
automatically to avoid feedback. The TALK TO 2-TR OUT button  
allows you to route the signal via the two 2-TRACK OUT outputs  
to the recording devices connected.  
(13) The  
switch turns your MINIMON MON800 on and off.  
Attention: The  
switch does not fully disconnect  
the unit from the mains. To disconnect the unit from  
the mains, pull out the main cord plug or appliance  
coupler. When installing the product, ensure the plug or  
appliance coupler is readily operable. Unplug the power  
cord completely when the unit is not used for prolonged  
periods of time.  
Hold the button down as long as you wish to speak.

connector jack. A matching mains adaptor is included with  
the unit.  
(19) CUE OUT is an additional output, which you can use to route  
the MINIMON signals to other devices, such as an additional  
headphones amp (e.g. BEHRINGER MINIAMP AMP800)  
(see chapter 4.1).  
To avoid damage to your COM800 always use the mains  
adaptor supplied with the unit.  
The CUE OUT level cannot be changed on the MON800.  
(15) A second pair of headphones can be connected to the PH jack.  
This connector is wired in parallel with the front-panel jack (3).  
(20) The two 2-TRACK OUT jacks are wired in parallel and carry the  
same signals. Use the 1" or cinch outputs, depending on the  
recording device used.  
(16) The TB jack is used to connect a single footswitch.  
This footswitch allows hands-free talking and the use of the  
talk-back button (12) (TALK TO CUE/PHONES/SPK A) at the  
same time.  
(21) Use the CD/TAPE IN jacks C and D to connect playback devices,  
such as a computer, CD/MD or cassette player.  
(22) The MIX IN jacks A and B are for connecting the main signal  
sources (e.g. mixing console, audio card, etc.) using 1" plugs.  
Mono signals must be connected to the L jacks.  
Hold the button down as long as you wish to speak.  
(17) Two pairs of loudspeakers can be connected to the  
SPEAKERS OUT B and C jacks. Since the levels of both pairs  
(B and C) can only be adjusted together on the MON800, it’s a  
good idea to connect one speaker pair to output B and an  
additional sub-woofer to output C (see chapter 4.1).  
The SERIAL NUMBER of your MON800 can be found on the bottom  
side of the unit.  
(18) Connect your main monitor speakers to the  
SPEAKERS OUT A jack.  
The loudspeaker outputs are designed for the  
connection of active systems or an external amplifier  
with passive speakers.

and distribute signals in a recording environment. However, with its  
flexibility the MON800 is also the ideal tool for P.A. applications.  
The following illustration shows an example of how to wire the unit in  
such an environment.  
Fig. 4.1: The MON800 in a typical computer-based recording environment  
As a central element of this configuration, the computer is connected  
via its audio card to the MIN IN A or B jacks (22) of the MON800.  
Additional sound modules, which are connected to the computer,  
for example, via MIDI, can be wired to the remaining inputs  
are used as secondary speakers, so that it is possible to evaluate a mix  
over less powerful systems. A sub-woofer is an ideal complement  
to such a pair of speakers and should be connected to output C (17),  
since the levels of both outputs can be adjusted simultaneously.  
(depending on the respective connecting plugs). Playback devices  
(CD, MD, etc.) should be connected to the CD/TAPE IN jacks (21).  
Connect your main monitor speakers to the SPEAKERS OUT A jacks (18).  
Output B (17) is for a second pair of speakers. Often, smaller systems  
If required, you can also connect a third pair of speakers, ideally with  
an adjustable amplifier stage, so that you can set the volume of the  
speaker pair C independently of the SPK LEVEL B + C control (5).  
 
11 MINIMON MON800 User Manual  
The speaker outputs of the MINIMON provide line-level  
signals. Passive loudspeaker systems must be connected via  
an external integrated amplifier. Active loudspeakers have  
an amplifier built in and can therefore be connected directly  
to the MINIMON outputs.  
4.2 Using the MINIMON for signal  
distribution in simple P.A. applications  
The MINIMON can also be used for small P.A. systems,  
for example, in cafés and galleries. In this case, the three loudspeaker  
outputs (17) and (18) can be used for three pairs of speakers set up  
in several rooms. The inputs C and D (21) of the MINIMON can be  
connected directly to consumer equipment, such as CD/MD/  
cassette players or a radio tuner. If necessary, the built-in talk-back  
microphone (11) allows you to make announcements for your guests.  
With an additional set of headphones you can pre-listen to the input  
signals you wish to play back via the audio system. The following  
illustrations shows a possible wiring scheme.  
The two headphones connectors (3) and (15) allow you to check your  
mix with a pair of headphones or route a monitor signal to one of the  
musicians. If you want to record several musicians, use the CUE OUT jack  
(19) for the connection of a headphones amp (e.g. BEHRINGER MINIAMP  
AMP800). In this way, each musician can set the volume of his  
headphones separately on the headphones amplifier.  
Using a footswitch connected to the TB jack (16) you can activate the talk-  
back microphone and route the microphone signal to the monitor paths.  
A recording device, such as a DAT or CD recorder, can be connected to  
the 2-TRACK OUT outputs (20).
