STEP 8: Setting up Artist and Control Room Headphones
You can control the mix your musicians hear from the ARTIST MONITOR area, located to the right of the MAIN MONITOR
area, shown below.
You can listen to the artist’s mix using the desk’s own headphone output:
³ Plug your headphones into the desk’s headphone socket, located in the trim on the right-hand side of the desk.
³ In the
HEADPHONE area below the ARTIST MONITOR area, press the FROM ARTIST button.
This routes the artist’s mix, rather than the main monitor mix, to the desk’s headphones and it will light
to indicate that this routing has been selected.
