jkmakela Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Is it possible to monitor main mix output with headphones? Just like monitor mixes. Now I can not hear master limiter or other effects in master output with headphones. Also master fader has no effect to headphones out. We use m20d as a brodcast mixer in webcasts and main outs stereo are connected to streaming computer (not pa or speakers). Of course we could listen program from computers headphones out but then I can not solo listen monitor mixes with same headphones easily. I also hope delay line in future firmware updates in order to sync video and audio in streaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_Auricchio Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 If nothing is Soloed, the headphones should provide the exact same signal that's coming out the LR mix, with FX, master fader and all. Check that you don't have something soloed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkmakela Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Nothing is soloed and from headphones I can hear all the inputs and effects and faders which are in input channels. Effects connected to "main out"-channel can not be heard from headphones. Effects in main out channel (hi pass, 4comp, eq6, limiter) and master fader only audible from monitor speakers connected to main out xlr connectors. Are you Rick sure effects in main out channel should be heard also from headphones? You own and use m20d? If so, my unit must be broken. Just got it one week ago.

pedromleite Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 If I understand correctly, what you're saying it that without anything in solo for the headphones, you do hear the main out but before the main out channel effects. Which should be correct, as to be able to listen using a different level. What you're asking is to listen with eq and compression, which are intended for the room I don't think that would be a nice change. If you're changing the main out channel, shouldn't you be doing it and hearing the acoustic version - with different positioning if dialing it in from an iPad perhaps?

Rick_Auricchio Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I have not tested this. But the block diagram clearly shows that the headphone feed is tapped from the mains after the main DSP and fader. As pedromleite says, there is a level control for the headphones themselves, but any change to the main fader should still be heard. If that is not how it works, then the block diagram is wrong. Can someone from Line6 verify this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_Auricchio Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I just ran a test, and jmakela is indeed correct. The phones feed taps the main LR output before DSP and fader. The block diagram is incorrect (or the firmware has a bug). Either way, the phones will only pick up the main mix as if it were a prefader solo of the main mix. As for channel solo, the manual doesn't specify if it is pre- or post-fader; the block diagram indicates post-fader. But now I have my doubts. (I didn't test channel solo.) The spec sheet doesn't even mention solo. It should list pre- or post-fader solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
