6.4. Previewing with headphones
To prepare his musical line-up, a DJ does a headphone preview: he listens to a track on his
headphones while the other one is being played over the speakers, allowing him to adjust the
tempo so that the tracks flow seamlessly together. He can also add an audio effect, set a cue
point (marker) to start up at a specific point in a track, create rhythmic loops, adjust Bass, Medium
and Treble frequencies, etc.
Your DJ Console Mk2 allows you to carry out this kind of headphone preview. You can select
what you are listening to on your headphones using the headphone output selector, located on
the DJ Console Mk2’s front face.
- Deck A position: Hear what is being played on Deck A on your headphones.
- Deck B position: Hear what is being played on Deck B on your headphones.
- Mix position: Hear what is being played on Outputs 1/2 on your headphones.
- Split position: In Traktor, this function is not assigned.
Note: In external mixer mode, the headphone output selector has no effect.
