question
Would there be any issues using a Y cable to send audio to headphones as one of the outputs?
This is a passive unit. The outputs are not designed to drive headphones (or speakers for that matter). But you can easily DIY a headphone amp with an old stereo receiver, mixer, or something similar. Or buy the Big Knob Studio, which provides 2 headphone outs.

Does it allow you to play both monitors at the same time?
No, the Mackie Big Knob Passive Studio Monitor Controller allows you to choose between two audio sources and two monitor pairs. This means that you can connect the monitor controller to two different pairs of monitors and choose which pair that you want to hear. You can only listen to one pair at a time, but not both pairs at the same time.

Will this record through USB to 4 separate ...
Will this record through USB to 4 separate channels? What exactly does 2x4 when referencing USB mean? I am NOT referencing the analog inputs/outputs, ONLY how it relates SPECIFICALLY to USB.
The 2x4 means this interface will send 2 channels (Left and Right ) to a recording program for recording, and will return 4 playback channels for monitoring. This will only record 2 tracks at one time.
