Once you have the tape tracks returning to the mixer, it is simple to create a cue mix
for the musicians to listen to over headphones while overdubbing. The cue mix is
created using MONITOR 1/2 on the Studio 32, because it is a pre-fader mix that is
independent from all other mixes. Follow the instructions in the previous pages to
get a monitor mix if you have not already done so.
Built-in headphone amp
The simplest solution for headphone monitoring is to simply plug into the
headphone jacks at the upper right hand side of the Studio 32. You may run stereo
extension cables from these jacks; they will power most standard headphones. (If
the phones aren’t loud enough, consider trying some more efficient headphones
with a lower impedance and a closed-cup design.)
The HEADPHONES SOURCE switch may be set to either position:
CR: The headphones will hear exactly what’s heard in the Control Room, as set
by the CONTROL ROOM SOURCE switch. Pressing SOLO will also affect the
headphones. Only the CONTROL ROOM LEVEL pot will not affect the
headphones.
MON 1/2: In this position, the headphones will hear only the MONITOR 1/2 mix,
regardless of how the control room is set.
The HEADPHONES SOURCE switch is usually set to MON 1/2 while tracking and
overdubbing, so the engineer can solo and change things without affecting the
headphone mix. Then, if you want the headphones to hear the 2 track or L/R mix,
set it to the CR position.

AUXILIARY OUTPUTS 1 and 2 (MON is labeled underneath) may be connected
