The cue output on the TX-6 lets you privately monitor any channel before it hits the main mix. It's useful for previewing tracks through headphones without affecting the main output.

Enabling cue monitoring

  1. 1.Press the cue button to activate cue mode.
  2. 2.Press the track button for any channel you want to listen to in cue. The selected track will be routed to the cue output.
  3. 3.Adjust the cue volume using the encoder or dedicated cue level control.

What to connect

The cue output is a 3.5 mm jack on the TX-6. Connect your headphones or an IEM setup directly to it. Use the included 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter if your headphones have a larger plug.

Things to keep in mind

  • The cue output is independent from the main and aux outputs, so cueing a track does not send it to the main mix on its own.
  • You can cue multiple tracks at once by pressing additional track buttons while in cue mode.
  • The cue button also appears in the MIDI reference as a mappable control, so it can be triggered remotely if you are using the TX-6 in a MIDI setup.
