4.2.19.3 – CHANGING THE HEADPHONE MONITORING POINT
You can set the headphone output to monitor any of the eight input channels or any of the four stereo
output bus pairs.
MONITORING AN INPUT CHANNEL
When monitoring an input channel, the signal will be tapped post-DSP (EQ, Comp, Gate) and pre-
fader.
To monitor one of the eight input channels via the headphone output, do the following:
1. Enter Phones Mode by pressing the [ ] button.
2. Press one of the channel select buttons 1–8 to monitor its respective input channel; its LED will
turn green. 1 will monitor input channel 1, 2 will monitor input channel 2, etc.
MONITORING AN OUTPUT BUS
When monitoring an output bus (Mains, Aux 1, Aux 2, Aux 3), the signal will be tapped toward the
very end of the signal chain, just before the output faders.
To monitor one of the four stereo output bus pairs via the headphone output, do the following:
1. Enter Phones Mode by pressing the [ ] button.
2. Press either the [MAIN], [AUX1], [AUX2], or [AUX3] mode buttons to monitor its respective
output bus; the selected mode button’s LED will light up blue. The headphone output is now
monitoring the selected output bus.
4.2.19.4 – HEADPHONE OUTPUT AS A DISCRETE OUTPUT BUS
It is possible to set the headphone output to act as its own discrete output, effectively adding another
two outputs to K-Mix (the headphone output is stereo). It should be noted that these outputs can only
be addressed by a connected computer; it is not possible to route any of the input channels to these
extra output channels.
To set up the headphone output to act as a discrete output bus, do the following:
1. Enter Phones Mode by pressing the [ ] button.
2. Press the master channel select button; its LED will turn green. The headphone output is now
acting as a discrete output bus, outputs 9–10.
4.2.19.5 – EXITING PHONES MODE
Since the [MAIN], [AUX1], [AUX2], and [AUX3] mode buttons are used to select the output bus pairs as
headphone monitoring points, they cannot be used to exit Phones Mode.
• To exit Phones Mode, simply tap the [ ] button; you will be returned to whatever mode you were in
before entering Phones Mode.
• Alternatively, you can press the [COMP], [GATE], [EQ], [PAN], [VERB], or [TRIM] mode buttons to
directly to their respective mode.
