4 HEADPHONES level control. Adjusts the level

of the signal in the stereo headphones. This does

not affect the level of the local booth monitor.

WARNING Some headphones are more

sensitive than others and can produce higher

output levels. To avoid damage to your hearing

start with the level control at minimum and turn

up only as much as is needed to maintain

comfortable listening level. Do not drive

headphones at high listening levels for long

periods of time.

5 POST EQ switch. In the normal up position

the headphones and meters monitor the Pre-EQ

cue signal from each music channel. This means

that you will not hear changes made in the EQ,

which can be useful if you dramatically alter the

frequency response by cutting all LF, but still need

to monitor the beats to keep a track in sync.

Pressing this switch will allow you to monitor post

EQ and hear any changes made to the channel EQ.

Toggling between pre and post EQ is useful to

compare the effect of the EQ.

6 SPLIT CUE switch. Press this switch to

change the way CUE operates. Normally, pressing

a channel CUE switch overrides both left and right

monitor program signals with the stereo cue signal.

With the switch pressed, CUE overrides just the left

channel leaving the program in the right channel.

The left monitor meter displays the cue signal, right

displays program. This is invaluable in club mixing

where the main program should remain audible

while cueing other channels ready to bring them into

the mix. It is very useful when beat mixing using

headphones. Note that Cue does not affect the

main output or booth monitor.

7 AUX 1-2 switches. In the normal up position

the headphones and meters monitor the main mix.

Press these switches to select either of the stereo

Aux mixes as the headphones monitor source.

Note that this does not affect the main outputs or

booth monitor.

☺ Tip. Use split-CUE to match the beat between

two tracks when beat mixing, or check the effect

before cut mixing. Alternatively, you can select

either of the Auxs and raise the sends on the two

channels to give you a pre-fade stereo PREVIEW of

the mix which does not affect the main output. In

this way you can hear exactly how it will sound in

the main mix before you raise the channel faders or

flip the crossfader. Use the Aux send controls as

your preview faders. Pressing any CUE switch will

override the preview.

8 CUE/ADD MIX control. Allows the main mix

output to be added to the CUE signal. Turned fully

anticlockwise, only the active CUE is heard through

the headphones when CUE is active. Gradually

turning clockwise introduces the main mix output to

the headphones, together with the active CUE.

Selecting SPLIT CUE will automatically override this

control.

The HEADPHONES Monitor

The DJ uses the headphones to check the mic and

music sources and to cue tracks ready to bring them

into the mix. The headphones isolate the dance

floor sound from the DJ and also prevent the

audience from hearing the monitor.

9 HEADPHONE OUTPUTS. These outputs are

positioned on the front panel so that the DJ can plug

in favourite headphones without needing access to

the rear connector panel. Headphones are

available in many different styles, impedances and

volume ratings. To get the best from your system

we recommend that you use high quality closed-ear

headphones with ¼” jack connection in the range 30

to 100 ohms. 8 Ohm headphones are not

recommended.

The BOOTH Monitor

The DJ uses the booth monitor to reinforce the

music level in his booth so that he can ‘feel’ and

interact with the beat. This provides an independent

music only monitor that is not affected by the main

Mix master or Cue controls. To avoid acoustic

feedback the microphone signals are not routed to

the booth monitor.

10 MONO switch. Sums the left and right

monitor signals together so that the selected stereo

source can be checked in mono. Use this to check

for mono compatibility, especially important in dance

floor and recording applications. A drop in level or

loss of low frequencies when pressed indicates

reversed polarity between the left and right signals.

Alternatively, you can select this if you wish to run

the booth monitor in mono rather than stereo. Note

that the MONO switch does not affect the

headphones monitor.

11 BOOTH MONITOR level control. Adjusts the

level of the signal to the stereo booth monitor

output. This does not affect the headphones.

12 MUTE switch. Press to mute the booth

monitor output. The red led lights when the monitor

is muted. The headphones and main outputs are

not affected. This is useful when the DJ chooses to

work with headphones only, check the sound level

from the dance floor, or quieten the monitor to talk

to staff or take a request.
