Default How to monitor cues via xmon?

I have 2 x 192 I/O and a D Command with the Xmon interface. I am trying to monitor the cue but get nothing. I see the meters jumping on the correct outputs, but no audio?
I do not think it is a cable issue. I can monitor the main "c1 mn" via the cue output, but not the cue itself.
Example: I am sending signal to the output 3/4 of my second 192 I/O, I see meters jumping. I have the output of that 192 patched into the "cue input" of the xmon but it does not seem to be getting to the Xmon unit

Any Ideas?

wish it did. I do not think it is a physical patch problem. I wonder if there is something to reroute within the software itself. I dont seem to be getting signal to the cue inputs on the xmon itself.
thanks tho

Faulty unit or you wired the wrong pins are the only things that make sense.

Default Re: How to monitor cues via xmon?

couple of thoughts :

When you say you can monitor the main output but not the respective cues themselves, can you explain a bit more in detail ?

Where do you monitor the cue ? On the headphone out of the controller or through a headphone amp or speaker setup coming off the Cue outs on the Xmon ?

If you want to monitor them on the headphone out of the controller you have to tell the headphone to do that. When you touch the Headphone volume controller knob you can do that by selecting the cue you want to listen to.

of course the Cue itself needs to be set to monitor the actual cue input or the main inputs.

It sounds like your wiring setup is correct.

Sorry if this sounds obvious but I'm not sure how well you know the system.

The cue level controls are switched on right ?

I would start by listening to the headphones on the controller making sure they are selected properly for what you want to hear or / and hook up a set of speakers to the Cue outs on the Xmon. The wiring diagram is in the manual and is pretty straight forward

I am of course assuming that everything Chris asked about is configured correctly.

I have the same problem, I can only monitor the Main Mn at the output of CUE1 but I can not monitor the CUE1 as the original signal. Could someone solve the problem?
