Allen Heath XONE DB2 Cue/Mix balance question
Dear all,
I just bought XONE DB2 mixer. I am a little bit confused, and I would like to know if this is normal feature in my mixer or not.
In my previous mixer - even if the Channel Cue monitoring buttons were active - when I turned Cue/Mix Balance knob all the way clockwise to Mix position - I could only hear Master Mix. Now, with DB2, when I turn knob fully clockwise and have any of the Channel Cue buttons active - I can hear Master Mix and still a little bit of monitoring signal.
Although - I would prefer to not have to turn off any Cue buttons to hear clean Mix in fully clockwise position.
According to manual:
Pans between Cue signal and the Main Mix output. Turned fully anti-clockwise, only the active Cue signal is heard through the headphones when a Cue is selected. Gradually turning clockwise introduces the Main Mix output to the Cue signal until, fully clockwise, only the Mix is heard.
Which is not the case!
tldr:
When I have any channel Cue monitoring buttons active and Cue/Mix knob rotated fully clockwise I can still hear a little bit of Cue signal when as far I understand only Mix should be heard.
Is it normal for DB2 or is it some kind of cue bleeding to headphone mix problem? Feedback from other DB2 users would be highly appreciated.
