Chapter 14 Monitor/Cue This chapter explains the LS9's monitor/cue functions. About the monitor/cue functions MONITOR SELECT DIMMER Monitor/Cue The Monitor function lets you audition various signals through your nearfield monitors or headphones. The LS9's front panel has a PHONES OUT jack for monitoring, and this jack always lets you monitor the signal that is selected as the monitoring source. 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 • 2TR IN DIGITAL jack input signal • INPUT channels 15/16 {31/32} input signal • USB memory recorder output signal • Any combination of up to eight signals from the STEREO, MONO, MIX, and MATRIX channels, the USB memory recorder output signal, INPUT channel 15/ 16 {31/32}, and the 2TR IN DIGITAL jack input signal The Cue function lets you check an individual selected channel by temporarily sending it from the output jacks assigned to the MONITOR OUT channel or from the PHONES OUT jack. When you press the top panel [CUE] key, the cue signal of the corresponding channel is sent as the monitor output from the selected output port. NOTE • The cue signal is sent to the same output destination as the monitor signal. Be aware that for this reason, the cue signal will no longer be sent to the connected monitor speakers if you turn off the Monitor output. However, the cue signal will always be sent to the PHONES OUT jack. The following diagram shows the monitor/cue signal flow. 2TRD L,R INPUT 15,16{31,32} PLAYBACK OUT STEREO OUT L,R STEREO OUT MONO(C) STEREO OUT L,C,R 2TRD L,R INPUT 15,16{31,32} PLAYBACK OUT STEREO OUT L,R STEREO OUT MONO(C) MIX OUT1-16 MATRIX OUT1-8 DEFINE MIX (MAX:8ch) CUE LR CUE TRIM (INPUT/OUTPUT/DCA) CUE L MONO CUE R METER CUE L METER CUE R PHONES OUT LR DA 2 Tip Ring Sleeve PHONES LEVEL [PHONES] CUE LOGIC PHONES LEVEL LINK PHONES L PHONES R To PHONES OUT To PHONES OUT MONO MONITOR L MONITOR R MONITOR MONO(C) METER MONITOR L METER MONITOR R METER MONITOR MONO(C) MONITOR OUT L To OUTPUT PATCH MONITOR OUT R To OUTPUT PATCH TALKBACK ON MONITOR DIMM ON MONITOR OUT MONO(C) ON +MONO(C) MONITOR LEVEL To OUTPUT PATCH 14 ● 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 level of the monitor/cue signal.

Monitor/Cue

This chapter explains the LS9’s monitor/cue functions.

The Monitor function lets you audition various signals through your nearﬁeld monitors or head-

phones. The LS9’s front panel has a PHONES OUT jack for monitoring, and this jack always lets

you monitor the signal that is selected as the monitoring source. 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.

The Cue function lets you check an individual selected channel by temporarily sending it from the

output jacks assigned to the MONITOR OUT channel or from the PHONES OUT jack. When you

press the top panel [CUE] key, the cue signal of the corresponding channel is sent as the monitor

output from the selected output port.

The following diagram shows the monitor/cue 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 level of the monitor/cue signal. This affects

the output jacks that are assigned to the MONITOR OUT

L/R/C channels, and also the PHONES OUT jack.

●

ON (On/off)

Turns the monitor output on/off.

●

PHONES LEVEL (Headphone level)

Adjusts the output level of only the PHONES OUT jack.

About the monitor/cue functions

•

STEREO channel output signal

•

MONO channel output signal

•

STEREO + MONO channel output signal

•

2TR IN DIGITAL jack input signal

•

INPUT channels 15/16 {31/32} input signal

•

USB memory recorder output signal

•

Any combination of up to eight signals from the STE-

REO, MONO, MIX, and MATRIX channels, the USB

memory recorder output signal, INPUT channel 15/

16 {31/32}, and the 2TR IN DIGITAL jack input signal

•

The cue signal is sent to the same output destination as the monitor signal. Be aware that for this reason,

the cue signal will no longer be sent to the connected monitor speakers if you turn off the Monitor output.

However, the cue signal will always be sent to the PHONES OUT jack.
