stereo outputs used for this are the CUE OUT XLRs on the rear of the m906 Audio Control Unit. Cycling between
the first two speaker outputs is done as you would normally do, via the SPKR SEL switch. When you're ready
to select the third stereo speaker set for monitoring, simply press the MON > CUE switch. The switch LED will
light solid and you'll now be monitoring audio sent to a third stereo speaker pair via the CUE OUT's. To return
to the previous speaker selection (1 or 2), press MON>CUE. To return to the other speaker selection (1 or 2),
press the SPKR SEL button.
When Speaker 3 mode is enabled, the talkback feature on the remote control is disabled. Due to
the fact that the talkback uses the CUE outputs, enabling talkback during Speaker 3 operation
could cause feedback by routing the talkback signal to the control monitors. The rear panel
remote talkback switch is under hardware control and is not disabled during Speaker 3 mode.
To disengage this monitoring mode and return the MON > CUE switch to its default operating state, do
the following:
1. Press the CAL switch.
2. Press the MON > CUE switch.
3. Press the MON > CUE switch once more
4. Exit CAL mode by pressing the flashing CAL switch.

Normally, the CUE INPUT signal is routed to the CUE output. Pressing the MON > CUE switch when
it's controlling its default operational mode, i.e. has not been configured to operate as a third stereo
speaker output as outlined above, routes the currently selected input source (L+R channels) that you're
monitoring to the CUE OUTs. This is particularly handy when you'd like to send the stereo source you're
monitoring in the control room out to the talent in the studio. Pressing the switch for the first time
activates this mode and illuminates the switch LED. Pressing the switch again deactivates the MON >
CUE feature and the switch LED extinguishes.

Both the main and headphone level rotary controls use stepped digital encoders that control analog
circuitry in the m906. Both are attenuators, rather than gain controls. Using them is straightforward.
To increase headphone or control room (main) monitoring levels, rotate the encoders in a clockwise
fashion. To decrease levels, rotate the encoders in a counter-clockwise motion. Levels can be altered up
or down in .5dB increments and channel tracking between channels is 0.05dB. In CAL mode (discussed
later), the main level encoder is used to change parameters for the function currently being edited.

To recall the stored level preset "double click" the MAIN level encoder switch by depressing it twice
rapidly. This will restore the output to the saved preset level. This change will be reflected in the MAIN
output level display. The MAIN output level preset can be set in CAL mode (discussed later).
