Pre-fader output to headphone jacks

[Kubiertas]

He all,

I already posted this question in the ‘Help’ section.

It would be great if the feed to the headphone jacks would be pre-fader.
Now when you turn down the master-fader the headphone volume is also turned down.
It would be nice, especially for home recording, to be able to turn down the pa/monitor speakers for recording and still be able to listen to the tracks through your headphones.

You can of course use a separate output, but in my case I am already using all outputs.
I do not onderstand the logic in having the headphones post-fader. They have there own (touchscreen) volume dails so why not feed them pre-fader?

Post fader is the usual position for an output monitor point, pre fader for inputs. The more expensive ranges from Qu upwards, do allow election.

oke, but what would be the benefit of feeding the headphone-outs post-fader. They already have there own volume control…

+1 for option “pre-post fader” for headphones

To my point of view, the Main L+R output in listen mode should be sent pre-fader to the headphones. A pre/post fader option would be great, but as a minimum, I think that pre-fader listen is necessary.

This request gets to the heart of SR management: there are more than fader issues involved. A pre fader option is obviously necessary to maintain a reference point to audit the possibilities of gain staging misalignment, as well as the deployed ancillary effects (EQ, compression and FX). The over riding question is whether or not A&H would consider these activities too advanced for an entry level desk?

+1 to pre fader headphones jack

[PeterD]

+1. I also miss this option.

There is definitely no point it should be post fader, it has their own volume control and if the house mix is in calm low volume, there is quite no signal coming in to the headphones Jack

Is it okey that I ‘bump-up’ my own post….? 😁
