1.1.8 Connect the Cue Outputs
In addition to the four individual amplified headphone jacks on its front panel,
the Monitor Station V2 provides rear-panel Cue L/R Line Outputs that you can
connect to a separate headphone amplifier. Their audio is selected using the
front-panel Cue Source buttons, as described in Section 4.1.2. You can set their
level using the front-panel Cue Output knob, as explained in Section 4.1.2.
Here’s how to calibrate a headphone amplifier.
1. Zero the Main Level and Cue Output knobs by turning them fully
counterclockwise.
2. Connect the inputs of the headphone amplifier to the Monitor Station V2’s Cue L/R
Line Outputs.
3. Calibrate the device’s audio levels according to its user
manual or visit its manufacturer’s Web site for information
about the recommended calibration process.
Note: If the headphone amplifier doesn’t have a recommended calibration process,
increase the Monitor Station V2’s Cue Output knob to Unity Gain by turning
it fully clockwise and then adjust the amplifier’s input level as necessary.
1.1.9 Connect the Main Outputs
The Main L/R Line Outputs provide what’s essentially a “thru” circuit for the Monitor
Station V2’s input sources. They’re typically used to feed external devices that
need a constant full-strength input signal, such as tape machines or digital stereo
recorders. The audio they carry is determined by the Main Source (described in
Section 3.1.4), and their output level is equal to the original input source level.
1. Turn the input and output levels of the external
device to be connected all the way down.
2. Connect the inputs of the external device to the Monitor Station V2’s Main L/R Line
Outputs.
3. Calibrate the device’s audio levels according to its user
manual or visit its manufacturer’s Web site for information
about the recommended calibration process.
