How to use outputs 1-2 on Digi003 without getting main mix?

Alternately, if you add a monitor/source switcher(like the Audient Nero, Presonus Monitor Station, etc), then you could use the SPDIF out as your main output(volume controlled by the monitor switcher) and that also allows 1 thru 8 for headphone mixes. BTW, a good monitor switcher brings many more good things to your setup. I am now retired and just have a "bedroom" studio in my house, but I still use a Presonus Central Station in my setup, and will always have something like that involved

Thanks Dave? I am using the monitor main outs to my monitors. This is my scenario..lineouts from 003 to the furman. Drums on channel 1 Bass on Channel 2 to the furman. protools 1&2 for monitoring thru the speakers. Now I introduce an ipod on channels 5&6, I want to hear the ipod thru the speakers, so that means pro tools set on 1&2. So now at this point I can hear the drums and bass in the headphones, furman 1&2. But 5&6 volume is also feeding line out 1&2 on the 003. I don't want to hear the ipod on the furman 1&2, only on 5&6. what I'm trying to do is play along with the ipod, and still have speaker sound in the control room, but because of the default 1&2, the ipod is also coming out of 003 lineout 1&2 along with 5&6.
