HEADPHONES

To listen in privacy or monitor the au- dio source inputs so you can locate an exact passage or section before mix- ing it, plug a pair of stereo head- phones (not supplied) with a 1/4-inch plug into the PHONES jack on the mix- er’s right front panel.

Listening Safely

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

To protect your hearing when you use headphones, always follow these guidelines to set the listening volume.

•Set CUE LEVEL to the lowest set- ting before you begin listening.

•After you put on the headphones, adjust CUE LEVEL to a comfort- able listening volume level.

•Once you set your headphones’ volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the vol- ume level, so a level that no longer causes discomfort might still damage your hearing.
