To listen in privacy or monitor the au-
dio source inputs so you can locate an
exact passage or section before mix-

plug into the 
PHONES
 jack on the mix-
er’s right front panel.
Your local RadioShack store carries a
wide selection of headphones.
Listening Safely
Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
To protect your hearing when you use
headphones, always follow these
guidelines to set the listening volume.
• Set 
CUE LEVEL
 to the lowest set-
ting before you begin listening.
• After you put on the headphones,
adjust 
CUE LEVEL
 to a comfort-
able listening volume level.
• Once you set your headphones’
volume, do not increase it. Over
time, your ears adapt to the vol-
ume level, so a level that no
longer causes discomfort might
still damage your hearing.
