Question about "Cue/PFL"

I find a problem that I can still hear the "CUE" channel in my earphones after turning the "HEADPHONES MIX" knob all the way down to the "MASTER" side and the "CROSS FADER" is located in the middle. 

I thought that when the CUE button is turned on, that channel will not be heard in the master channel, regardless to the position of the crossfader? Or am I wrong?

Thank you very much

Try this...

  • Play audio on channels 1 and 2

  • Disable the crossfader

  • Take the CH1 fader up, CH2 fader down

  • Set the headphone mix knob to 12 o'clock

  • Press the master cue button - you'll now hear the audio in your headphones, the same as your master output

  • Press the master cue again to disable it

  • Press the CH2 cue button - you'll now hear THAT audio in your headphones, CH1's audio is still in the master output

  • Press the master cue so both CH2 and master cue are illuminated - you'll now hear both the master and CH2 in your headphones

  • Turn the headphone mix knob back and forth between master and cue and you'll hear it blending between the master and CH2 sources

  • Turn the headphone mix knob back to 12 o'clock

  • Press the CH2 cue so only master cue is illuminated - again, you'll only hear the master in the headphones and master output

  • Raise the CH2 fader so both CH1 and CH2 are open - you'll now hear both sources in the headphones and master output

  • Press the CH2 cue button and you'll find it's now louder than the CH1 source in the headphones because you're mixing it twice; once from the channel, once from the master

  • Turn the headphone mix knob back and forth between master and cue and you'll now hear the master mix of both channels and then CH2 in isolation

From what you've written, I think perhaps you misunderstood the way the channel and crossfaders work in relation to the headphone cueing.

Thank you for the very detailed reply, that helps a lot. 

Please answer me one more question, just want to get it clear.

Suppose Channel 2 fader is up, so that its sound is outputting to the master output (Speakers), then I press the Channel 2 Que button, will the speakers stop outputting channel 2's sound? Or it continues? I cannot try this out by myself coz I do not own a pair of monitor speakers..

Thank you very much
