The Ultra Stereo CM-680 Projection Booth Monitor has been
designed for high performance, ease of use, and years of trouble free
service. Installation and setup of the monitors has been
considerably simplified. No special tools are required. The built in
VU meter and test jack give the technician immediate information
about the status of the processor and all power amplifiers.
All controls necessary for daily operation of the processor are
easily accessible on the front panel. The components that make
up the CM-680 monitors are of computer grade for reliability. All
front panel controls are individually sealed for long life. All
Ultra Stereo equipment has been “burned-in” at the factory for
an extended period in order to eliminate the possibility of
premature failure. Unpack the unit carefully. If the container has
been damaged, thoroughly inspect the equipment to make
certain that there is no hidden damage. File a claim immediately
with the carrier if any damage is found. Also advise your dealer
or the factory.

Crossover Setup
Analog Crossover Card XTA-680: When using the USL, Inc. Crossover
card, the following parameters must be set: time delay, crossover frequency,
horn EQ, Screen EQ and output levels. See figure #6.
Make sure the NORMAL/BYPASS switch is set in the NORMAL position.
Determine the model number of the speaker system being used. (Figure #7
has a listing of several popular cinema loudspeakers.)
If your loudspeaker requires a 1.8 ms delay, turn “ON” all DIP switches on
the first row marked 1.8 ms. Refer to figure #7. Likewise a loudspeaker
requiring 1.4 ms delay should require all the DIP switches in the second row
to be turned “ON”.
For loudspeakers requiring only 0.7 ms delay, leave all the time delay DIP
switches “OFF”. Never turn on both rows of time Delay switches!
Next, set the crossover frequency. For 800Hz, turn all the crossover frequency
DIP switches in the first row “ON”. For 500Hz, turn all the DIP switches in
the second row “ON”. For 330Hz, turn all the DIP switches in the third row
“ON”. For 297 Hz, leave all the crossover frequency DIP switches “OFF”.
Never turn on more than one row of DIP switches.
Now, set the horn EQ and screen EQ DIP switches. Generally, all six DIP
switches should be “ON”. In some cinemas, the left and right speakers are
mounted outside the screen area. In this case, turn the left and right screen
EQ switches to “OFF”. Some high frequency horns are very flat to 20kHz.
In this case, you may want to turn the horn EQ switches to “OFF”. The horn
and screen EQ each provide about 8dB of boost at 20kHz. The combination
of horn and screen EQ results in about 16 dB boost at 20kHz.
You will need to supply the following materials:
• Shielded audio cable for connecting the CM-680 to the
cinema processor and power amplifier outputs.
• Four 10-32 x 1/2" screws to mount the CM-680 in the audio
equipment rack.
FEATURES
The CM-680 monitor has the following standard features:
• Eight-Channel Monitoring - allows you to monitor either the
processor or power amplifier outputs to left, center, right,
surround left, surround right, back surround left, back surround
right and subwoofer channels, in any combination via the switch
on the front panel (see illustration on pg. 5 - switch 5)
• Input levels from processor and power amplifier can be
adjusted independently - no huge level jumps when switching
between processor and power amplifiers.
• Bargraph display may be calibrated to the reference level
for your theatre – the projectionist can see auditorium levels
instantly.
• Designed to work with bi-amplified sound systems to
monitor the high and low frequency outputs from the left,
center and right channels.
Finally, set the output levels. Using a Real Time Analyzer and feeding a pink
noise signal from the cinema processor, set the appropriate ten turn pots
for a flat response around the crossover frequency and a total SPL level of
“85” on each of the front three channels. There should be enough range in
the output pots to allow setting the amplifier gains at maximum or at the 12
O’clock position.
The bypass crossover is fixed at about 500 Hz with no time delay. Using a
Real Time Analyzer and feeding pink noise from the center channel of the
cinema processor, set the bypass levels for flat response around 500 Hz
and an SPL level of 85. The NORMAL/BYPASS switch will need to be set
in BYPASS.

2. Internal Digital or Analog Crossover Access Cover.
3. Crossover Bypass Switch - Switching this will cause the internal crossover to be bypassed or engaged
and the condition will be indicated by its appropriate LED.
4. Volume Control - controls the volume of the internal or external speaker. The volume control has
no effect on the VU Bargraph display.
5. Processor/Amplifier Selector Switch - selects either the inputs from the cinema processor or power
amplifiers for monitoring.
6. VU Bargraph - displays the level of the selected channels. The VU Bargraph may be calibrated by
the rear panel trim adjustment (Figure 2). The VU Bargraph operates independently of the volume
control (4).
7. Test Jack - permits monitoring of the audio output of the CM-680. Inserting a mono or stereo 1/4”
phone plug here disables the internal speaker and routes the audio output to the Test Jack. Do
not connect any device here with less than 8 Ohms impedance.

3. Crossover Outputs to Power Amplifier Inputs: The CM-680 utilizes
HD15 connectors that mate with several popular amplifiers. Plug one
end of the “VGA” HD15 cable into the chassis connector on the rear
of the CM-680. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate
amplifier. The VGA cable not only sends the CM-680 crossover signal
to the amplifiers, but also sends a power amp output signal back to the
CM-680 monitor. This vastly simplifies rack wiring. USL, Inc. stocks 2’,
4’ and 6’ long VGA cables. See figure #3
Terminal blocks are also provided on the back of the CM-680 chassis
to allow wiring to traditional amplifiers without the HD15 interface. All
crossover outputs are balanced. Please use two conductor shielded
cable to minimize ground loops and hum. Connect each of the crossover
channel outputs to the appropriate amplifier inputs.

3. Crossover Outputs to Power Amplifier Inputs: The CM-680 utilizes
HD15 connectors that mate with several popular amplifiers. Plug one
end of the “VGA” HD15 cable into the chassis connector on the rear
of the CM-680. Plug the other end of the cable into the appropriate
amplifier. The VGA cable not only sends the CM-680 crossover signal
to the amplifiers, but also sends a power amp output signal back to the
CM-680 monitor. This vastly simplifies rack wiring. USL, Inc. stocks 2’,
4’ and 6’ long VGA cables. See figure #3
Terminal blocks are also provided on the back of the CM-680 chassis
to allow wiring to traditional amplifiers without the HD15 interface. All
crossover outputs are balanced. Please use two conductor shielded
cable to minimize ground loops and hum. Connect each of the crossover
channel outputs to the appropriate amplifier inputs.

Crossover Setup
Analog Crossover Card XTA-680: When using the USL, Inc. Crossover
card, the following parameters must be set: time delay, crossover frequency,
horn EQ, Screen EQ and output levels. See figure #6.
Make sure the NORMAL/BYPASS switch is set in the NORMAL position.
Determine the model number of the speaker system being used. (Figure #7
has a listing of several popular cinema loudspeakers.)
If your loudspeaker requires a 1.8 ms delay, turn “ON” all DIP switches on
the first row marked 1.8 ms. Refer to figure #7. Likewise a loudspeaker
requiring 1.4 ms delay should require all the DIP switches in the second row
to be turned “ON”.
For loudspeakers requiring only 0.7 ms delay, leave all the time delay DIP
switches “OFF”. Never turn on both rows of time Delay switches!
Next, set the crossover frequency. For 800Hz, turn all the crossover frequency
DIP switches in the first row “ON”. For 500Hz, turn all the DIP switches in
the second row “ON”. For 330Hz, turn all the DIP switches in the third row
“ON”. For 297 Hz, leave all the crossover frequency DIP switches “OFF”.
Never turn on more than one row of DIP switches.
Now, set the horn EQ and screen EQ DIP switches. Generally, all six DIP
switches should be “ON”. In some cinemas, the left and right speakers are
mounted outside the screen area. In this case, turn the left and right screen
EQ switches to “OFF”. Some high frequency horns are very flat to 20kHz.
In this case, you may want to turn the horn EQ switches to “OFF”. The horn
and screen EQ each provide about 8dB of boost at 20kHz. The combination
of horn and screen EQ results in about 16 dB boost at 20kHz.
You will need to supply the following materials:
• Shielded audio cable for connecting the CM-680 to the
cinema processor and power amplifier outputs.
• Four 10-32 x 1/2" screws to mount the CM-680 in the audio
equipment rack.
FEATURES
The CM-680 monitor has the following standard features:
• Eight-Channel Monitoring - allows you to monitor either the
processor or power amplifier outputs to left, center, right,
surround left, surround right, back surround left, back surround
right and subwoofer channels, in any combination via the switch
on the front panel (see illustration on pg. 5 - switch 5)
• Input levels from processor and power amplifier can be
adjusted independently - no huge level jumps when switching
between processor and power amplifiers.
• Bargraph display may be calibrated to the reference level
for your theatre – the projectionist can see auditorium levels
instantly.
• Designed to work with bi-amplified sound systems to
monitor the high and low frequency outputs from the left,
center and right channels.
Finally, set the output levels. Using a Real Time Analyzer and feeding a pink
noise signal from the cinema processor, set the appropriate ten turn pots
for a flat response around the crossover frequency and a total SPL level of
“85” on each of the front three channels. There should be enough range in
the output pots to allow setting the amplifier gains at maximum or at the 12
O’clock position.
The bypass crossover is fixed at about 500 Hz with no time delay. Using a
Real Time Analyzer and feeding pink noise from the center channel of the
cinema processor, set the bypass levels for flat response around 500 Hz
and an SPL level of 85. The NORMAL/BYPASS switch will need to be set
in BYPASS.

The Ultra Stereo CM-680 Projection Booth Monitor has been
designed for high performance, ease of use, and years of trouble free
service. Installation and setup of the monitors has been
considerably simplified. No special tools are required. The built in
VU meter and test jack give the technician immediate information
about the status of the processor and all power amplifiers.
All controls necessary for daily operation of the processor are
easily accessible on the front panel. The components that make
up the CM-680 monitors are of computer grade for reliability. All
front panel controls are individually sealed for long life. All
Ultra Stereo equipment has been “burned-in” at the factory for
an extended period in order to eliminate the possibility of
premature failure. Unpack the unit carefully. If the container has
been damaged, thoroughly inspect the equipment to make
certain that there is no hidden damage. File a claim immediately
with the carrier if any damage is found. Also advise your dealer
or the factory.
