6. The "Cue Amp Out" jacks are for feeding two separate sets of headphones. The two

power amplifiers can drive several pairs of medium impedance headphones each (like

Sony MDR series for example). Since the XLR's are at full amplifier level, they are

designed to drive a headphone level control box like the Redco Little Red Cue Box or

similar devices. Connector pinouts and sources are listed on the "Connector Pinouts"

page of this manual.

7. The "AES IN" jack is for driving the digital meter with a standard AES digital signal.

8. The "VU MTR OFFSET" switch turns the meter sensitivity down if the type of music

worked on warrants it (prolonged meter pinning can damage the movements.) This is

factory set to –4 dBu.

The VU METER INPUT, DIM CMND, and the AES IN signals hook up

seamlessly to the Dangerous Monitor. It is easy to incorporate the MQ into other

systems by buying or making the appropriate cables using the information on the

"Connector Pinouts" page (8.)

MQ front panel

The cue mixer section is next to the right VU meter and has the master level controls

(Cue A Level and Cue B Level) along with the Cue Source selectors. The mono inputs

(Input 1 and Input 2) have level and pan pots along with phase flip and Cue Assign

switches. Setting all the pots to the 12:00 position is a safe place to start when setting up

the MQ for the first time. The engineer's headphone level usually winds up around 2:00

and the talkback level also runs around 2:00 for most applications.

The cue amps get their source from the VU meter input (Mon) or a separate Cue

input (Cue) that the engineer provides. The mono inputs are to inject click track, vocal, or

whatever is needed into either cue amp as selected by the A/B switch.

On the left side, there are controls for Talkback Level, Headphone Level for the

front panel jacks, and switch to select which cue mix the engineer wants to monitor.

There is also a Peak Hold switch for the digital level meter.
