Multi-channel Listen

[Rossi]

Is there a way to have “listen” Multi-channel select? We need to monitor multi-channels from headphones output.

btw, tested a way by routing of the output channels- but, through the headphones doesnt sound the same, guess its mono.

To my knowledge, the CQ does not support additive PFL/Listen and you can only “listen” to one channel/mix at a time. When no channel is selected, you hear the Main LR output through the headphones. Alternatively you can configure the headphone jack(s) on the output screen as to whether it receives “listen”, “MainLR”, “Mix1”, etc.

Seems the only way is sending at unity level the wanted channel into any OUT (1-2,3-4 or 5-6), then listen on phones. If you have a mix into the out you lost, unless maybe using a scene dedicate to phone monitor. The monitor on selected out will hear also your phones mix.

Any suggestion is welcome…!

I’ve just joined this forum specifically to request this feature.

Spent the weekend recording a band with the CQ18T. The results were excellent. But an ‘additive’ multi input listen would have made the job much much easier. Please consider adding this feature.

Obviously multiple inputs can be selected for the outputs, and the LR listen is a sum of all inputs, so clearly the ability to do this is there.

I’m using an extra aux for this

My take on this. It really depends on what you expect to hear, sorry if that sounds condecending, what I mean is are you looking for selected channels as part of the output mix (Post Fade) or simply multiple inputs at pre fade that will be unbalanced at input gain levels?
1. For stereo, post fade, thus something near output mix of selected channels. Best way I can think of without getting the gear out, create a linked pair of auxes, then send the prescribed channels to that aux pair using the send sliders. As its a stero ouput then hopefully the sent channels will be either mono panned out as of its main send, or as a stereo channel etc.

2. Mono would be the same setup but just the one aux

In both these cases you need to set the aux channel(s) to post fade, same as if you were using for external FX send as I do to a vocal processor module.

There is no button option to do this im afraid as the CQ does not have any SOLO function.
Hope this helps.
