If you wish to mute certain surround channel signals, press the corresponding C-R SPEAKER SELECT switches. Pressing any C-R SPEAKER SELECT switch during surround monitoring will mute the corresponding surround channel. Pressing any C-R SPEAKER SELECT repeatedly will cycle the corresponding switch LED status as follows: lights up solid → flashing fast → flashing slow → off. The following table can help you select the channel you wish to mute.

To cancel surround monitoring, use the C-R SOURCE SELECT switches to select any monitor source other than 5.1 channel. Bass Management function In a surround sound system that includes a subwoofer, the bass components of all channels and the LFE channel signal are output to the subwoofer. Bass Management is a function that makes adjustments in order to prevent interference between the signals sent to the subwoofer and the signals sent to the other speakers. While you are using the n12 Surround Monitor function, the Bass Management function works as illustrated in the diagram below. L (DAW IN 1) R (DAW IN 2) C (DAW IN 3) LFE (DAW IN 4) LS (DAW IN 5) RS (DAW IN 6) HPF L HPF R HPF C LPF AMP SW HPF LS HPF RS LPF HPF=100Hz, -12dB/Oct LPF=100Hz, -12dB/Oct AMP=+10dB Surround downmix If necessary, you can monitor the sound in stereo by mixing the surround signals into two channels during surround monitoring. This is called a "surround downmix." To downmix the signals during surround monitoring, turn on the [DOWN MIX] switch in the Control Room section. The LS, RS, C, and LFE channel signals will be split to L and R channels, then output from the C-R OUT jack A. Meanwhile, the level of these channel signals will be automatically adjusted so that the monitoring level will not change. Press the [DOWN MIX] switch again to cancel the downmix and restore the surround signals.

In this way, you can mix together the surround L and R channel signals and the L and R signals in the STEREO buss, then output them to the monitor speakers. If the DAW TO ST [ON] switch has been turned on, turning on the [5.1] and [ST] switches together at the same time will turn off the [ON] switch (the switch LED flashes). Owner's Manual 47
