							Monitor and Cue functions
 Reference Manual
102
Monitor and Cue functionsThe Monitor function lets you monitor various outputs through your nearfield monitors or 
headphones. Below the front pad of the CL series console is a PHONES out jack which 
always outputs the monitor source signal that you've selected for monitoring. 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
• OMNI IN 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 channel input signal (for monitoring each 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 OMNI IN 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 input 
signals
The Cue function lets you check an individual selected channel/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
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 function. However, the cue signal will always be sent to the PHONES output 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.
• 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.
Using the Monitor functionThis section explains how to select the desired monitor source, and monitor it from the 
PHONES Out jack or external monitor speakers.
NOTE
Monitor on/off operations, selection of the monitor source, and dimmer on/off operations can also 
be assigned to USER DEFINED keys. (page 197)

Using the Cue functionAbout Cue groupsCue signals on the CL series console can be categorized into the following four groups.1
INPUT CUE group
The cue signals of input channels make up this group. To enable Cue for this group, 
press the [CUE] key for any input channel to turn Cue on.
NOTEIf input channels or ST IN channels are assigned to the Centralogic section, you can also use the 
[CUE] keys in the Centralogic section to enable Cue for this group.
2
DCA CUE group
The cue signals of DCA groups make up this group. To enable Cue for this group, assign 
the DCA groups to the Centralogic section and press a  [CUE] key in the Centralogic 
section to turn Cue on.
3
OUTPUT CUE group
The cue signals of output channels make up this group. To switch Cue on or off for this 
group, press the [CUE] key in the Master section, or assign MIX channels or MATRIX 
channels to the Centralogic section and press a [CUE] key in the Centralogic section.

NOTEIf STEREO/MONO channels are assigned to the Centralogic section, you can also use the [CUE] 
keys in the Centralogic section to enable Cue for this group.
4
Other CUE group
These cue signals are operated via buttons displayed on the 
touch screen. This group is enabled if you turn on the CUE 
button in the EFFECT window or the PREMIUM window, or 
if you turn on the KEY IN CUE button in the DYNAMICS 1 
window. This group will automatically be disabled when 
you exit the corresponding window.
NOTEYou cannot turn on cue monitoring between different groups simultaneously. Normally, the group 
to which the most recently-pressed [CUE] key (or on-screen CUE/KEY IN CUE button) belongs 
will take priority, and the [CUE] keys for the previously-selected group will be defeated.
However, if you switch the Cue signal group in a specific order, the state of the [CUE] keys of the 
previously-selected group will be restored when the current Cue signal is defeated.
The following illustration shows the 
priority order of the [CUE] keys. After 
you have switched groups from lower 
to upper levels, if you then defeat cue 
for the upper group, the previous 
[CUE] key status of the group 
immediately below will be restored.
For example, if you switch groups in 
the order of OUTPUT CUE group  
DCA CUE group  INPUT CUE group 
 Other CUE group, you can then 
successively defeat the [CUE] keys 
(CUE/KEY IN CUE buttons) to 
successively restore the [CUE] key 
status of the previously-selected group.
Operating the Cue functionThis section explains how to use the [CUE] key for a channel or DCA group to monitor cue 
signals.
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 not be sent to the connected monitor speakers if you turn off the 
Monitor function. However, the PHONES Out jack below the front pad will always output cue 
signals regardless of the Monitor on/off setting. See “Using the Monitor function” (page 103) for 
details about the Monitor function.
