Monitor/Cue; About The Monitor/Cue Functions - Yamaha M7CL Owner's Manual

This chapter explains the M7CL's monitor/cue functions.
The Monitor function lets you audition various outputs through your nearfield monitors or head-
phones. Below the M7CL's front pad there is a PHONES OUT jack for monitoring, and this jack
always lets you monitor the signal that is selected as the monitoring source. By assigning the
MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels to the desired output jacks, you can also monitor the same sig-
nal 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
• ST IN channel 1–4 input signal
• A combination of up to eight MIX, MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel output signals and ST IN
channel input signals.
The Cue function lets you check an individual selected channel/DCA group by temporarily moni-
toring it via MONITOR OUT or PHONES. When you press the top panel [CUE] key, the cue signal of
the corresponding channel/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,
if you turn off the Monitor function, the cue signal will no longer be sent to the connected monitor speak-
ers. However, the cue signal will always be sent to the PHONES OUT jack.
The following diagram shows the cue/monitor signal flow.

LEVEL FADER
● MONITOR LEVEL
Adjusts the output level of the MONITOR OUT L/R/C
channels. If PHONES LEVEL LINK is ON, this 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 serial
with MONITOR LEVEL. If PHONES LEVEL LINK is
ON, this setting will also affect the level at the PHONES
OUT jack.
