11. CUE MIXING CONTROL -
This functions allows you to monitor the Cue level as well as the Program (main output) level in your
headphones. A channels Cue Level may only be monitored if the channels Cue function is selected.
To select a channels cue function depress the CUE BUTTON (7) that is directly associated with the
specific channel you wish to monitor. You may use the mixing function to blend both the Cue level
and the Program level together. You can vary the output level to either hear more or less of either of
the two levels. Sliding the Cue Mixing fader to the CUE position will allow you to hear more of the
Cue level. Sliding the knob to the PGM position will allow you to hear more of the Program level
(main output). You may also use the Cue Mixing Control to hear either the Cue level or the Program
level exclusively. If the fader is in the full CUE position you will only hear the cue level, if the fader is
in the full PGM position you will only hear the main output. This function will especially be useful for
occasions when an external monitor is not available.

MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (13) and sliding the CROSSFADER (8) to right position will cut that chan-
nels volume to MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (13). The reverse is true for the right channel fader assign
