Introduction
Please read this entire manual before commencing your
installation.
The Ultra Stereo CM Series 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 Series 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.

You will need to supply the following materials:
• Shielded audio cable for connecting the CM Series to the
cinema processor and power amplifier outputs.
• Four 10-32 x 1/2" screws to mount the CM Series in the audio
equipment rack.
FEATURES
The CM Series 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.

1. Channel select buttons - pressing a Channel Select Button causes the corresponding LED to illuminate
and the signal from that channel to be monitored. Any combination of eight channels can be selected.
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 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. 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.

Installation
Mount the CM Series
The ideal place for the CM Series Monitor is in the sound rack or
projector console between the stereo processor and power
amplifiers. DB25 and HD15 connectors are available on the back plane
to make installation quick and easy. Alternatively, terminal blocks allow
the use of stripped and tinned wire. They are pluggable for easy service
and trouble shooting.
Monitor Hookup
1. Power: Connect the unit to the AC power outlet using the standard
IEC cable provided. Any power source from 100-250VAC, 50-60 Hz
will be sufficient.
2. Monitor Inputs From Processor Outputs: Use the male-female
25 pin D cable to connect the output of the cinema processor to the
main input of the CM Series. If “EX” channels are to be used, then plug
an additional male-female 25 pin D cable from the “Optional Outputs”
at the processor to the “Optional Inputs” of the CM Series.
3. Crossover Outputs to Power Amplifier Inputs: The CM Series
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 Series. Plug the other end of the cable into the
appropriate amplifier. The VGA cable not only sends the CM Series
crossover signal to the amplifiers, but also sends a power amp output
signal back to the CM Series monitor. This vastly simplifies rack wiring.
USL, Inc. stocks 2’, 4’ and 6’ long VGA cables.
Terminal blocks are also provided on the back of the CM Series 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.
4. Monitor Inputs From Power Amplifier Outputs: When VGA cables
are NOT being used, the amplifier outputs must be connected to
terminal blocks 2 & 3. Unshielded wire can be used to connect the
output of the amplifiers to the appropriate monitor speaker.
Inputs on the rear panel of the CM Series: All of these inputs are
unbalanced except for the subwoofer.
NOTE: you must select “EX” or
NORMAL (non “EX”) channel routing
using the DIP switches on the rear
panel of the CM Series.
