Using Headphones

Plug a pair of stereo headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4” jack into the Phones input. Using headphones not only affords you the opportunity to listen privately, but also enables you to monitor the incoming audio sources so you can locate an exact passage or section before mixing it in. It also gives you the opportunity to set up the relative volume level of the upcoming passage before it joins the mix.

Listen Safely! Please observe the following:

3.Set the desired audio input source’s volume to its minimum setting, turn it on, and set it to play (or speak continuosly into the microphone).

4.Slowly turn the CUE LEVEL control clockwise until you hear the signal through the headphones at the desired volume level.
