[QUOTE="drew gandy, post: 73609, member: 880"] Re: Headphone jacks Interesting. I tried plugging 2 sets of cans in at the same time and didn't notice any change in level. I started to think that maybe there were actually independent headphone amps (one for each jack) but that doesn't really make economic sense. I think you've confirmed that they are actually just tied together off one amp. And I suspect that one of your sets of cans has a wiring problem. Likely a short somewhere. While on the topic of the headphone output, I concur that there needs to be some kind of gain adjustment somewhere in the cue bus path. I have found the output level of the main mix to be decent if you're driving the board to near full output but for cueing individual channels there's not enough gain. Especially if it's a quiet source (like a spoken word mic 3 feet away from a whisperer). I'm used to having an independent control for the solo bus so you can adjust it relative to cueing up a complete mix. [/QUOTE]
