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
• 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, 31-
32 (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.
• 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.
