They installed a CP650 as part of the upgrade, but with NO provisions for a booth monitor. When my mouth dropped, I was told someone forgot to include it in the contract specs. I wondered why the installed didn't ask, "Hey you guys, you sure you don't need a booth MONITOR? Anyway....where is the best place to bridge off the CP650 to get a mono mix so the projectionist can at least know there is audio playing in the theatre without risking introducing possible level change in the B-chain calibration, or worse, hum, noise and general audio mayhem? Or am I missing an existing output on back that is designed to feed booth monitors? If there is one, I didn't see it. What would be ideal would be to be able to switch between each channel for verification and as well as a mono mix just for overall operations.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If you are looking for a proper monitor then one merely makes their own "Y" (or get something from Odyssey Products) and come off of the various outputs. Also, there are various monitors that can take the CP650's outputs and then provide the means to connect to the amps (the monitor then is "in-line" with signal.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 07-15-2012 02:50 PM                     Or you could check the "Equipment For Sale" forum here as it seems there is a booth monitor available from someone here... I can also get or make the breakout cable for you.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 07-19-2012 10:19 PM                     Frank: I replied to your original email on the 16th and replied to the one you sent today.
