Output Control Section

48. PHONES SOURCE

This control only works if the split cue [49] switch is
in the up (off) position.
It provides the cued source in stereo when panned
hard left, and the main mix in stereo when panned to
the right. It provides a smooth crossfade throughout the
rotation of the control.

49. PHONES SPLIT CUE

When this is pressed in, you will hear the cue bus (in
mono) in the left headphone, and the main mix bus (in
mono) in the right headphone. (The source [48] knob
will then have no effect.)
This useful feature lets you quickly and simultane-
ously monitor in different ears what is happening in
your main mix and in your cued-up programs.
Without the split cue, you will hear a stereo mix of the
cued programs and the main mix, in both ears.

50. PHONES LEVEL

This controls the output level of the headphone am-
plifier. The range of the knob is off to +12 dB.
WARNING: The headphone amp has enough
gain to drive any standard headphones to
a very loud level. We're not kidding! It can
cause permanent hearing damage. Even intermediate
levels may be painfully loud with some headphones. BE
CAREFUL! Turn this all the way down before connect-
ing headphones, and before you press cue [36] on any
program, or make any connections. Keep it down until
you've put on the headphones.

51. PHONES JACK

This front-panel 1/4" TRS stereo jack is where you
plug in your stereo headphones.
The main headphone volume is controlled by the
phones level [50] control. The level is not affected by
the main level [55] or pan [56] controls. As mentioned
above, pressing split cue [49] gives the cue mix in one
ear, and the main mix in the other. The phones source
control [48] adjusts the cued source, or main mix to
play in your headphones.
The quality of sound reaching your ears is really up to
you. We hope that you enjoy the sounds coming out, and
that your audiences will appreciate your fine sense of
musical style, beat and rhythm.
