SPLIT/MIX switch is in CUE mode you will only be able to monitor your CUE,
when the rotary CUE/MIX/PGM control is in CUE. When the CUE SPLIT/MIX
switch is in split, you will notice the left side of your headphones will play
your CUE signal & the right side will play PGM, thus enabling you to mon-
itor both outputs separately. This feature will only work properly if the
CUE/MIX/PGM rotary control is placed at noon or middle position. If the
CUE/MIX/PGM rotary control is set to CUE you will only here the CUE signal
playing on the left side of your headphones. If the CUE/MIX/PGM rotary
control is set to PGM, the PGM will be the only signal heard from the right
side of your headphones.
