Controls and Connections 5
5.1.3 Cue/Main Select
The Central Station comes equipped with separate Cue and Main signal
paths. The Cue signal path includes the talkback-microphone signal and
sends this signal to the recording artist via an external headphone amp
or the two onboard headphone amps. The Main signal path is intended
for the control room and does not include the Talkback signal.
• Cue Output Level Control. Adjusts the overall output level of the Cue audio path.
• Input Select Buttons. Determing the sources for the Cue or Main Audio Paths

5.1.4 Meter
The Central Station comes equipped with dual, independent, tricolored,
30-segment LEDs for metering the audio signal. The scale is represented
in dBfs and dBu for use with analog outboard equipment and digital
audio workstations, sound cards, and other digital systems.
• Clear Peak. The meters on the Central Station have
a Peak Hold feature so that the red clip LED will
remain on once the signal has clipped. Pressing
the Clear Peak button will reset the clip light.
• Calibrate. You can calibrate the meters on
your Central Station to match the metering on
other equipment. Audio-software metering
can vary depending on the software, and it
is usually desirable to calibrate the meters on
your Central Station to match the metering in
your audio software. For detailed instructions
on calibrating the meters on your Central
Station please refer to Section 3.1.
