v. 2.67 Features and specifications are subject to change. Visit www.sounddevices.com for the latest documentation.

HP Sources Description

Tracks A, B (MS) Stereo monitoring of discrete M (mid) and S (side) track pairs. Highlighted media is source of monitor

program. Upon playback will function as MS track monitor.

Monitor A,B (MS) Stereo monitoring of playback (post-record) discrete M (mid) and S (side) track pairs. Highlighted

media is source of monitor program. When not in playback, headphones have no program.

Inputs 1+2, 1+2 Summed inputs appear in each ear for summed mono monitoring of both inputs.

Tracks A+B, A+B Summed tracks appear in each ear forsummed mono monitoring of both tracks.

When tracks (A or B) are monitored in headphones, audio assigned to the tracks is heard in headphones

during recording. During playback the recorded track audio is heard in headphones.

To set the available headphone source options for headphone monitoring enter the HP: M o nit or

modes menu. Once you enter the Monitor Modes menu you will immediately be in slot-1. Rotate the

Rotary Switch to select the source you wish to appear ﬁrst in your Headphone monitor list. Once the

chosen source appears, press the Rotary Switch or the soft key ENTER (tone) key to move to the next

slot. Continue down the list to select the source for each slot in the list. Once all sources have been

chosen, press (done). This will exit the headphone monitor mode setup. You can exit the selection

process by pressing the stop or cancel (backlight) key at any time.

If DONE is pressed in the ﬁrst headphone slot, the 722 will select a single option (Tracks A, B) for head-

phone monitoring. The 10 factory presets will be erased.

MS Stereo Monitoring

The MS stereo mode decodes discrete Mid-Side stereo signals to a left/right stereo signal for moni-

toring purposes. This allows for a proper stereo signal to be monitored in the ﬁeld while discrete

M and S signals are recorded for later post production. For the MS decoder to operate properly, the

Mid signal is connected to input 1 and the Side signal is connected to input 2. The amount of stereo

“spread” is ﬁxed to a 50/50 percentage from Mid to Side signal.

If MS is selected for input linking, do not use MS stereo monitoring. This would result in two MS decod-

ers being inserted in the signal path. The resulting audio in the headphones would be the discrete M and

S signals!

Rotary Switch Behavior

The action of the Rotary Switch during recording and playback is set from among the three available

options:

• Disabled: pushing the Rotary Switch has no effect.

• Selects Favorite Mode: places the headphone source into the mode selected in the HP Favorite

menu.

• Playback/Monitor Drive Select: pushing the Rotary Switch toggles between CompactFlash,

internal hard drive, and external hard drives for playback and monitoring while recording.
