Monitor and Cue functions

This chapter explains the Monitor and Cue functions of CL series consoles.

About the Monitor and Cue functions

The Monitor function lets you audition various outputs through your nearfield monitors or

headphones. On the front panel of the CL series console is a PHONES Out jack for monitoring, which

enables you to monitor the monitoring source signal at any time. By assigning the MONITOR OUT L/

R/C channels to the desired output jacks, you can also monitor the same signal through external

speakers.

You can select the following signals as the monitor source.

• STEREO channel output signal

• MONO channel output signal

• STEREO + MONO channel output signal

• OMNI IN 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 channel input signal (for monitoring a two channnel pair)

• RECORDER PLAYBACK output signal

• A combination of up to eight MIX, MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel output signals,

RECORDER PLAYBACK output signals, and OMNI IN 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 input signals

The Cue function enables you to check an individual channel or DCA group by temporarily monitoring

it via MONITOR OUT, CUE OUT, or PHONES. When you press the [CUE] key on the top panel, the

cue signal of the corresponding channel or DCA group is sent as the monitor output or cue output from

the selected output port.

NOTE

Be aware that if you turn CUE INTERRUPTION off in the MONITOR popup window, the cue

signal will not be sent to the connected monitor speakers. However, the cue signal will always be

sent to the PHONES Out jack.

The following diagram shows the cue/monitor signal flow.

• MONITOR SELECT

Selects the monitor source.

• METER

Detects and indicates the level of the monitor signal or cue signal.

• DIMMER

Attenuates the monitor/cue signal by a fixed amount.

• MONITOR LEVEL

Adjusts the output level of the MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels. If PHONES LEVEL LINK is ON,

this setting will also affect the level at the PHONES Out jack.

• MONITOR FADER

Use the STEREO MASTER fader or MONO MASTER fader to adjust the output level of the

MONITOR OUT L/R/C channels. MONITOR FADER is positioned in series with MONITOR

LEVEL. If PHONES LEVEL LINK is ON, this setting will also affect the level at the PHONES Out

jack.

• ON (on/off)

Switches the Monitor function on or off.

• DELAY (Monitor delay)

Delays monitor signals. The Delay function is disabled if cue signals are being output.

• PHONES LEVEL (Headphone level)

Adjusts the output level at the PHONES Out jack.

• PHONES LEVEL LINK (Headphone Level Link function)

If this function is turned on, the MONITOR LEVEL knob will adjust the level of signals sent to

the PHONES Out jack.

• CUE INTERRUPTION (Cue Interruption function)

If this function is turned on, pressing the [CUE] key on the top panel will cause the cue signal of

the corresponding channel or DCA group to be sent as the monitor output from the selected

output port. With the factory default settings, this function is turned on.

Turn it off if you do not want to output cue signals to the monitoring speakers or headphones.
