662 RICHARDSON'S BLUEBOOK OF PROJECTION 2. To Determine the Cause and Correction of LOW VOLUME, FAULT LOCATION UNKNOWN NOTE: Because of the wide variety of monitoring circuits used today, this chart does not provide for faster trouble-shooting by comparing monitor speaker output with stage speaker output. Such provisions, suited to individual projection room conditions, may profitably be added by the reader.
