The Monitor section includes the Program Mix control, the Headphone Volume control and the Headphone Jack. Connect headphones with a standard 1/4" stereo plug. The C u e audio is sent to the headphone amp using the Cue Assign Pushbutton and the Pgm Mix control. The Program Mix controls the amount of program audio in the headphones so that beats can be matched exactly and segues are smooth when a song is cued. Below is an example of a poor EQ curve because it cuts the output volume down by 6-10dB. You have to compensate by running the Master output higher: 0 Below is the worst sort of curve to use because you are using EQ to add volume. With exaggerated boost you can easily run your power amplifiers into "clipping" (see page 5) and damage your speakers. 20. 12V BNC Connector allows a 12 volt gooseneck lamp to be connected directly to the mixer.
