I own the djm900 nexus and previously owned the Denon DN X1600 so I had split cue on it.
I can not find a way to split the decks in the headphones with the pioneer. I try the mono split and I get nothing out of the master side, only the cue side.
Am I doing something wrong, is there a problem with my mixer or is this just how the pioneer mixers are.
I am used to hearing deck 1 on one side, and deck 2 on the other (split cue)
Thanks

You can split.
Switch the [Mono Split, Stereo] Selector switch.
-[MONO SPLIT] The sound of the channels for which the (CUE) button is pressed is output from the heahphones output's left channel, the (MASTER) channel sound is output from the right channel.
Guess where I found this information?
I found that information in the owners manual also. What it did not explain, nor did you is that you have to have the output level up a lot to actually hear the Master in the right channel.
Guess where I found this information?
I believe that's just the way it is with Pioneer mixers. I never use that as the level of the master output is never loud enough for me as well.
I just cue both channels :(
You can probably buy one of those small headphone amps. watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZy6CURjXS4
The master volume reflects how high you actually have the master volume set at you do know that right? You can either raise the master volume OR the headphone volume. All volumes (cue, fader, channel, master, booth, monitor, gain, etc.) are user adjustable for a reason. The feature is there and all the information you need (regarding this topic) is in the manual.
I guess I should say after raising the master volume lower your gains on your amplifier's or speakers' or crossover etc........................
Ya I knew that but, and your right, I can lower my monitors...sometimes when playing at home, I can't play really loud so instead of reaching behind my monitors (hard to get to due to the setup) I just use cue on both channels. I have gotten used to it and yes I know I'm being lazy =)
Dennis, as this was your thread, do you still need some help or are your issues sorted out?
It works but like mentioned its just a pain to set it up this way.
If your playing a wedding, you do not start off with your mater at zero, the volume builds as the night goes on. So its not practical to start with your master up loud enough to hear it in your headphones. I would end up having to go adjust the monitors all night long.
I am doing like you and just use the cue on both channels.
This is one area that Denon has a huge advantage, their split cue is very usable in any situation.
mater = master.
Not blasting Pioneer, I love they system, this is just one feature I do not find superior.
Definitely a preference here. I like how Pioneer has it. Some like it where the mixer changes the CUE automatically each time you introduce a new track. Not my cup of tea either. Especially with 4 channel mixers/controllers. Wateva's cleva I guess.
