Using SZ controller I can't find a way to send a mono signal to booth while keeping stereo to main.
Is this possible? If so please explain.
Thanks

No, it's not possible.
The mixer of DDJ-SZ is a hardware mixer, and Pioneer didn't include a Stereo/Mono switch on it.

just curious, what is the difference between mono_mix and just splicing two wires together?, I have ideas but they're based on guess work.
could be the average but that will have cancellations [or it could be susceptible], it could be the max, I really am just pondering...

right, the difference is impedency ... need at least a Y adapter to mix both channels correctly with cables
the other hand, you can select booth twice in the audio config (only channel 1) for one and (only chanel2) for the second output
VDJ will mix them itself

I tried the y cable but the mix coming out seems off. I must be doing something wrong. Sound vol is inconsistent. Some songs have low vol than all of a sudden the bass will kick in on another track. Like one channel signal is stronger than the other.
The mains in stereo no issues.

retro audio wiring Y audio coupling cable back to 70's ;)
not just twist both RL together
input L : 470Ω resistor to output
mix point output 10K resistor to ground
input R : 470Ω resistor to output

I use a 2 into 1 splitter on my Sz and RZ for booth monitor. 5.00 dollar fix.

No, you can't with DDJ-SZ
Because the BOOTH output is hardware controlled.
VirtualDJ sends audio "per channel" and the hardware mixer does the rest.
SZ audio interface does not expose the "master" or the "booth" outputs for software to use because there's no physical connection to it there (unit's audio routing design)
On other controllers that expose "master" and "booth" audio outputs that's possible, true.
However IIRC only DDJ-800 exposes booth on software.
All other controllers I know have the "booth" output tied to master output (basically the audio splits on 2 different buses right before the exit stage, one goes to master attenuator, and one to booth attenuator and out)
So, on most cases you cannot simply set booth to MONO and keep master on Stereo.
Other controllers like DDJ-1000 offer a hardware (firmware) setting for that (that can be changed through VirtualDJ controller settings)
