SETTING UP THE C•que 8 - Continued
Repeat the previous step for all Channels that have headphones connected, making sure to start the VOLUME
knob completely counterclockwise and then slowly raising it until the desired level is achieved. If you have
connected different models of headphones to the various Channel Headphone jacks, you may find that some
require more gain than others to achieve the same volume. This kind of disparity will occur if the various head-
phones have different impedances. The lower the impedance, the louder the headphone will sound compared
to another, higher impedance headphone at the same VOLUME setting. Another factor affecting headphone
loudness is called sensitivity. This is generally measured by determining the decibel (dB) level generated by 1
mW of power input. The higher the dB rating, the louder the headphone. See the Reference chart on page 13 of
this manual for more details.
To achieve optimum signal-to-noise ratio, the master VOLUME should generally be set as high as possible, short
of audible distortion. However, if this results in your getting blasted with signal even though the channel vol-
ume is near minimum, you'll need to decrease the Master Volume while raising one or more channel volume lev-
els. Conversely, if you find that you have to raise one or more headphone Channel Volume knobs to maximum or
near maximum to achieve the desired level, try increasing the master Volume level while decreasing the channel
volume(s).

Master Volume
The C•que 8's master VOLUME control is used to adjust the input signal connected to the main Left and Right inputs.
In addition, the master VOLUME control adjusts the level of the signal inserted in the INJECT, which is summed with the
MAIN Left and Right input signal.

Balance Control
The C•que 8's main channel has a BALANCE control,
which controls how much signal is sent to the left or right
headphone outputs. The control knob has a center detent
which indicates that the left and right sides are balanced. In 2
Channel mode, the signal becomes mono and the BALANCE
knob adjusts the level balance between the signals connect-
ed to the LEFT inputs and signals connected to the RIGHT
inputs. (For more information on 2-Channel mode, see the
section "Mixing Signals in 2 Channel Mode" found on page 9
of this manual.)

Master Level meter
The C•que 8's master section includes a 6 segment LED
LEVEL meter which monitors the input level from the MAIN Left and Right Inputs in Decibels (dBs) from –24 to OL (over-
load). If the LEVEL meter displays an OL signal, then turn down the signal using the master VOLUME control.

Master Inject
6
The C•que 8's MASTER INJECT is a TRS input (Tip, Ring, Sleeve), that allows a second stereo signal to be inserted and
summed together with the MAIN Left and Right signals. You can use a stereo signal from your mixers bus outputs or aux-
iliary sends to balance the mix between two stereo signals like rhythm tracks and vocals.

The 2 CH/STEREO switch is used to change between the C•que 8's two global operating modes, 2-Channel and
Stereo. In Stereo mode the left and right Line inputs are mixed with the left and right Inject inputs, in stereo, with the
Balance knob controlling the left and right panning. In 2-Channel mode, the left and right LINE inputs are mixed with the
left and right INJECT inputs into a single mono signal with the BALANCE knob controlling the level difference between
the LEFT and RIGHT inputs.
