Stereo Cue 1
Each Channel on the 8424 has a stereo cue send which can send audio from
channel input A or B (depending which input is selected on the top of the
channel strip) to performers in the live/control room. The CUE send can also
be used as a stereo FX send. The ST CUE also has a third input option - Input
C. This input allows for an additional 24 inputs into the 8424 from the DAW.
More information on Input C uses can be found on page 53.
The CUE rotary send runs from -inf to 0dB and has push activation. Pressing
the Rotary level control will activate the cue send. The ON light will
illuminate green to indicate that the CUE is active. Each cue has its own L/R
Pan control which can be activated by pressing the ST CUE PAN control.
The CUE can be set Pre or Post fader via simple button combinations listed
below. By default, the CUE sends signal from the channels selected input A
or B but can also be fed from Input A independent of channel input
selection or an additional Input C. (see page 53/54 for more information)

The CUE send pre-fade option will function differently depending on which
channel input A/B is selected. This is to ensure that when recording or
overdubbing, the channel cut does not cut the cue send. Similarly, when
recording/mixing, the channel cut will cut the cue send.
If channel Input B is selected – cue sends are pre-fade pre-cut
If channel Input A or C is selected – cue sends are pre-fade post-cut
Global Stereo cue sends pre/post state can controlled by interlocking the
Aux On/Pre button and ST CUE master knob in the centre of the console.
