How do I use the cue output for monitoring?
The cue output lets you monitor selected channels independently from the main mix, perfect for previewing tracks before bringing them into your performance.
Basic Setup
Press the cue button to access the cue page. Use the track buttons (1-6) to select which channels you want to hear in your headphones. Turn the select encoder to adjust cue volume.
Switching Modes
Click the select encoder while on the cue page to toggle between two modes:
- Cue mode: hear only the selected tracks
- Main mode: mirror the main output (useful for general monitoring)
Using a Headset Mic
If you connect a headset with a microphone to the cue output, you can control it by holding SHIFT + cue. This opens settings for mic on/off, volume, gain (0 to +31 dB), gate, ducking, and effects like reverb or delay.
Switching Aux and Cue
The aux and cue jacks can be switched in the system menu. This is useful if you need the stronger output signal from the aux jack for high-impedance headphones.
