This chapter explains the Monitor and Cue functions of CL series consoles.

About the Monitor and Cue functions

The Monitor function lets you audition various outputs through your nearfield monitors or
headphones. Below the front pad of the CL series console is a PHONES Out jack for monitoring, which
enables you to monitor the monitoring source signal at any time. By assigning the MONITOR OUT L/
R/C channels to the desired output jacks, you can also monitor the same signal through external
speakers.
You can select the following signals as the monitor source.
• STEREO channel output signal
• MONO channel output signal
• STEREO + MONO channel output signal
• OMNI IN 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 channel input signal (for monitoring a two channnel pair)
• RECORDER PLAYBACK output signal
• A combination of up to eight MIX, MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel output signals,
RECORDER PLAYBACK output signals, and OMNI IN 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 input signals
The Cue function enables you to check an individual channel or DCA group by temporarily monitoring
it via MONITOR OUT or PHONES. When you press the [CUE] key on the top panel, the cue signal of
the corresponding channel or DCA group is sent as the monitor output from the selected output port.
NOTE
The cue signal is sent to the same output destination as the monitor signal. Be aware that for this
reason, the cue signal will no longer be sent to the connected monitor speakers if you turn off the
Monitor function. However, the cue signal will always be sent to the PHONES Out jack.
The following diagram shows the cue/monitor signal flow.

MONITOR DIMM ON LEVEL FADER
• MONITOR SELECT
Selects the monitor source.
• METER
Detects and indicates the level of the monitor signal or cue signal.
• DIMMER
Attenuates the monitor/cue signal by a fixed amount.
• MONITOR LEVEL
Adjusts the output level of the MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels. If PHONES LEVEL LINK is ON,
this setting will also affect the level at the PHONES Out jack.
• MONITOR FADER
Use the STEREO MASTER fader or MONO MASTER fader to adjust the output level of the
MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels. MONITOR FADER is positioned in series with MONITOR
LEVEL. If PHONES LEVEL LINK is ON, this setting will also affect the level at the PHONES Out
jack.
• ON (on/off)
Switches the Monitor function on or off.
• DELAY (Monitor delay)
Delays monitor signals. The Delay function is disabled if cue signals are being output.
• PHONES LEVEL (Headphone level)
Adjusts the output level at the PHONES Out jack.
• PHONES LEVEL LINK (Headphone Level Link function)
If this function is turned on, the MONITOR LEVEL knob will adjust the level of signals sent to
the PHONES Out jack.
• CUE INTERRUPTION (Cue Interruption function)
If this function is turned on, pressing the [CUE] key on the top panel will cause the cue signal of
the corresponding channel or DCA group to be sent as the monitor output from the selected
output port. With the factory default settings, this function is turned on.
Turn it off if you do not want to output cue signals to the monitoring speakers or headphones.
