Hi John,

Let's see if we can figure this out...and I'm assuming you mean separate cue buses for ears and wedges.

There aren't two totally separate cue buses (aka solo or monitor bus) within the console, but there are a few ways to get similar functionality. The monitor bus is fully routable within the patchbay, so it's possible to patch one output to ears, and another to a listen wedge. Then, use an external volume control (foot pedal) to control the volume of the wedge. It's old school, but it works.

Or, take the cue bus out one of the digital outs and loop it back into a digital input. Then take this input and assign it as a user input to one or two of the stereo matrixes (PQs), and use these to drive the ears/wedge combo. The advantage to this arrangement is that you could easily create two events (Options > Events) to switch between the two listen modes, simply by muting/unmuting the output master. A footswitch or function switch could be used to automate toggling between the two.

I would love it if we could get the Monitor bus selectable as one of the Mains in the PQ mixes.
