Players want to hear what is going on. Use the
[AUX] control of the input channel that connects
the instrument or microphone to adjust the
output level to the AUX bus so that the
corresponding player or singer can hear their
part.
The AUX bus can be used in various ways. Two
common applications are 1) to create a monitor mix
that is separate from the main mix and that can be
used by players in a recording booth or on the
stage, and 2) to process the signal via an external
effect unit, such as reverb and delay.
On the n8/n12, a pre-fader signal is routed from
each input channel to the AUX bus. You can create
an independent monitor mix by setting each input
channel [AUX] control to a mix balance that is
different from the fader setting.
The AUX bus signal is output from the AUX PHONES
jacks (or the AUX PHONES jacks and AUX OUT
jacks on the n12). Rotate the level control of the
corresponding jacks to adjust the monitoring level.
To avoid damage to your hearing or speakers, set
the monitoring level rather low, then re-adjust the
level later to suit your taste during mixing.
Adjusting the volume level
Adjust the volume level while monitoring the input
channel signals.
1.
Press the STEREO [ON] switch in the Master
Control section to turn it on, then raise the
STEREO fader to the “0 (0 dB)” marking on the
fader scale.
When the STEREO fader is set to the 0 (0 dB)
position, the stereo bus output signal is at its
nominal level (that is, the pre-fader and post-fader
signal are at the same level).

Press the input channel [ON] switch and [ST]
switch to turn them on.
