Monitor and Cue functions The Monitor function lets you monitor various outputs through your nearfield monitors or headphones. Below the front panel of the QL 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 • INPUT 25-26, 27-28, 29-30, 31-32 (9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 for the QL1) channel input signal (for monitoring a two channel pair) • RECORDER PLAYBACK output signal • A combination of up to eight MIX, MATRIX, STEREO, or MONO channel output signals, RECORDER PLAYBACK output signals, and INPUT 25-26, 27-28, 29-30, 3132 (9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 for the QL1) input signals The Cue function enables you to check an individual channel or DCA group by temporarily monitoring it via MONITOR 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 from the selected output port. NOTE Be aware that if you turn CUE INTERRUPTION off in the MONITOR popup window, the cue signal will no longer 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.

To OUTPUT PATCH To OUTPUT PATCH To OUTPUT PATCH Monitor and Cue functions • 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 dedicated output level of 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. 87 Reference Manual
