On my 600 I simply do what you're doing. I have Track B cued in the one headphone cup and listen with my other ear to the monitor speakers. By adjusting the mixing knob on your headphone part of the mixer you can bring in Track A, B or both at different volumes in different ears.

Volume for cueing on the channels versus the master volume is much louder. There isn't really a need to monitor to the master since they're playing on your speakers, so just push the buttons for monitoring channel 1 and 2. Thats what I did when I owned my 500 and that way it ensures that the volume is at the same level for each channel in the headphones. I think thats what u were aiming for; the ability to monitor both the channels at once right?

is there not a split cue switch on it somewhere..? so you can have one channel in one ear and the other in the other..?

either way, if there isnt its no great loss, so long as you can hear one track on ur headfones and the other on ur speakers im sure you will manage

The DJM-500 does not have a split cue function, but apparently the 600 does? Sounds like it from wut Dirk W. had posted.

The 600 has split cue.
The 500 has headphone EQ.
The Empath has both .

But seriously, just punch the cue buttons for the channels you want to monitor.

Cheers...

I'm not 100% sure what split-cue is, but I have always assumed that it defines the function on a mixer that allows cuing of one source (ie. turntable #1) in the left ear and another source in the right ear. Is that correct?

My Xone:32 has a crossfader which allows you to fade between the "mix" (what's playing live) and the cue channel (whichever you have selected to be the cue channel). The same output comes through each side of the headphones. Is there a term for this monitoring function? I love it, works very well for me.

split cue is when you have seperate channels in seperate ears, as opposed to both channels in both ears, or cue signal only. the different settings are usually labelled 'split' and 'mix', or simply 'split cue on/off'. usually by default one of the channels in a cue split is the master signal, i'm not sure if you can alter this on a djm600 (is there a cue button over the master volume fader..? bloody ages since i used a djm600..)

i prefer split cue, i dont like having the two channels blended in together in the headfones, i find it a lot easier to differentiate between the two, and easier/quicker to fix any problems

Yes, there is a cue button above the master fader

what kind of split cue monitoring does the DJM-600 have? Is there fading abilities when you hear both channels in both cups, like there is on the most numark mixers, or is it just a simple channel A/B-left/right split?

which allows you to fade between the two.

in that case i would imagine you can deselect the master and have 2 channels of your choice in seperate ears (when the djm600 is on split cue).

i wish my mixer did that it would make things easier for having more than 2 tracks on the go
