Headphones (connecting and using)

Connect a standard pair of stereo head-
phones to the stereo 1/4" jack on the top
or at the front of the X-9. These two
jacks output the same signals and are
controlled by the same controls.
Use the headphone
PHONES
LEVEL
control to adjust the vol-
ume of the signal from the head-
phones.
There are four EQ settings, which
can be made using the menu sys-
tem (menu
01HP
)—see "Menu
reference" on page 17. These settings boost either the
low or the high part of the frequency range, or both.
The fourth setting is a "normal" setting—no cut or
boost.

Fader start/stop connections

The four mono mini-jacks (3.5 mm)
are connected so that the tip feeds a
fader start, and the sleeve feeds a fader
stop.
The ground for these connections is
provided by the signal ground of the device to which
the fader start is made.
NOTE

as a CD or MD player) for the audio connection, an ana-

The balance between the cue mix (see "Cue (pre-
viewing sounds)" on page 16) and the master cue
mix in the headphones is set using the upper
PHONES
control. Turn counterclockwise for cue sig-
nals (
) and clockwise for main master cue mix
CUE
(
).

In addition, the headphone output can be in stereo
outputs or set so that the left headphone outputs the
cue signal (in mono, of course) and the right head-
phone outputs the master main signal (in mono).
Use the STEREO (the indicator is unlit)/
SPLIT
(indicator is lit) key to change between these
two modes.
In the
mode, the cue signal is output
MONO SPLIT
from the left headphone, and the master cue signal
from the right headphone. Use the
to adjust the relative levels.
log connection must also be made to provide the
ground for the fader start.
Note that the fader start control refers to the program
number—see "About programs" on page 14 (not the
device number).
To activate fader start/stop for individual programs,
follow the instructions in "Fader start" on page 21.
To activate fader start/stop for the devices assigned to
the cross-fader signals, follow the instructions in
"Cross-fader start" on page 22.
These footswitches can be used for a variety of pur-
poses, such as sampler control, effect on and off, etc.
Use the menu item (

page 17) for full details of how these switches can be
set up.
