11. Monitor Output
The Monitor output port can be used to send the audio
signal to external devices, such as powered monitors, for
artists or engineers to monitor audio. The signal for this
output is taken from the monitor mixing bus, the final level
of which is controlled by the Master Monitor level control,
which takes its signal from the Monitor controls on each
individual input channel.

12. Speaker Outputs
These jacks are used to connect to speakers, fed from
the internal power amplifiers A and B. The first set of
outputs (A-1 and B-1) are professional speaker (Speakon)
connectors; to use these, insert an appropriate four pin plug
into the connector, and twist to lock into place. The second
set of outputs (A-2, A-3, B-2 and B-3) are 1/4" phone jacks;
to use these, simply insert an appropriate 1/4" TS plug
into them. Accompanying these outputs is a Mono Bridge
output, which solely outputs the main mono signal with the
combined power of both built-in amplifiers.

One Speaker per Channel: When connecting a
single speaker to each channel's output, speakers with
impedances between 4 and 8 ohms should be used. This
is the case for both the Phone Jack and Professional
Speaker Connectors.
6
Two Speakers per Channel: When connecting two
speakers to the Speaker Outputs, the loading of each
speaker should be between 8 and 16 ohms (as two 8 ohm
speakers will form a total loading of 4 ohms, two 16 ohm
speakers a total loading of 8 ohms, etc).
11
Three Speakers per Channel: If you wish to connect to all
three speaker outputs, the loading of each speaker should
be between 12 and 16 ohms (since three 12 ohm speakers
will create a total loading of 4 ohms).
Bridge Mono: When using bridge mono mode, either
the Bridge Mono (1/4" phone jack) output connection or
Professional Speaker output A-1 connection can be used
(however should not be used simultaneously). The total
loading of the speaker used should be no less than 8 ohms.
NB.Only use passive speakers in conjunction with the Speaker outputs, as
to avoid damaging any equipment.
When connecting to professional speaker connector A-1,
power amp A can be utilized through pins 1+ and 1-, power
amplifier B can be utilized through pins 2+ and 2-. For
professional speaker connector B-1, power amplifier B
can be utilized through pins 1+ and 1-. Pins 2+ and 2- are
not used on professional speaker connector B-1. When in
bridge mono mode, pins 1+ and 2+ on speakon jack A-1
are used only.
