2.5.3 Stereo Cue Sends
In addition to auxiliary buses 1-4, “The BOX” is equipped with a separate stereo cue
bus, cue master, and balanced output. When recording, the primary purpose of this
cue system is the creation of a headphone feed, so talkback and other sources can be
routed to the cue master. When mixing, stereo send 3/4 can be routed to the cue bus
instead of aux buses 3/4 to provide an alternate stereo effects send.
2.5.4 Aux Pre Jumper
Aux/Cue sends set to PRE can be from two locations in the signal path, pre-EQ/500
slot or from the fader input. An internal AUX PRE routing jumper on each input
channel determines the point in the signal path that feeds the aux/cue sends when the
PRE switches are engaged.
The AUX PRE jumper can be set to one of two positions:
• PRE EQ (pre-equalizer): Pre-EQ/500 slot
o Post-preamp, post-compressor (if routed)
o Pre-EQ/500 slot, pre-insert send, pre-fader
• FDR IN (fader input): Pre-fader input
o Post-preamp, post-compressor (if routed), post-EQ, post-insert return
o Pre-fader
The default position for this routing jumper is factory-set to FDR IN (fader input). The
jumper can be changed using the procedure outlined in a separate service document.
This routing option and jumper are available only on input channels 1-4. Aux/cue
sends on summing inputs 1-16 are fed from the fader input when their PRE switches
are engaged.
CUE: Routes aux send 3/4 to the stereo cue bus when engaged
• AUX 3/4 feeds auxiliary buses 3 and 4 by default
• The feed to auxiliary buses 3 and 4 is defeated when engaged
• Illuminates when engaged
