Monitor And Cue Functions - Yamaha CL5 Reference Manual

Monitor and Cue functions

The 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.
