These connections are made through the appropri-
ately-labelled analog connectors on the top of the
front panel.
Note that these are professional-level (+4 dBu) bal-
anced outputs, and should be connected to an appro-
priately-equipped monitoring system.
A standard pair of stereo headphones may be con-
nected to the

These are "smart" latching keys; in other words, if
pressed and released within half a second, they are
latching, and if pressed and held for more than half a
second, they are non-latching. They also dim the
output level.
Since this facility is available on the Aux 1-2
busses, which are also the only Aux busses
that can be made pre- or post-fader, you may
want to use these busses as the in-studio
headphone feeds if you require the artists to
