Monitoring sound with headphones

The channel for monitoring over the headphones is called the [CUE] channel. The sound of this channel is output from the headphones regardless of the positions of the crossfader and channel fader.

!To monitor the sound of deck (A) or deck (B) over the headphones without outputting it from the [MASTER] channel, use one of the procedures below.

—Move the channel fader for the channel you do not want to output from the [MASTER] channel to the nearest position towards you.

—Move the crossfader all the way to the side opposite the channel you do not want to output.

!To monitor the sound of the microphone or external device (AUX) without outputting it from the [MASTER] channel, select [Mute] on the MIC/AUX monitor control panel.
