15. FX/MON 2 SEND OUTPUT

This 1/4" TRS line-level output can be used to feed an external effects processor (FX) or another set of stage monitors (mon 2). The output here is a copy of what goes into the internal FX processor, being the careful mix of all channels whose FX/mon 2 control [22] is turned more than minimum.

The processed output of the internal FX does

not come out of here, but is added internally

to the main mix or monitor 1 mix.

The overall output level can be adjusted with the FX/mon 2 send control [49], and it can be either post or pre channel level, depending on the setting of the FX send /mon 2 send switch [51] as follows:

If they want "more me, and less Keith," you can turn up their channel's FX/mon 2 control, and turn down Keith's. (If you were using monitor 1 to feed the stage monitor, then you would adjust the mon 1 control [21] on each channel.)

MONITOR 2 SEND or FX SEND?

To run one set of stage monitors, use the monitor 1 system because it has its own graphic EQ [41], master level [43], and meter [45]. To run another set of moni- tors, set the FX send/mon 2 send switch to mon 2.

Stage monitors allow the talented musicians in your band to hear themselves clearly on stage, and this can often be a good thing. The monitor output can be carefully adjusted in level using the channel FX/mon 2 controls [22], and not change if the channel levels or main mix levels are adjusted. This is known as "pre-fader."

To feed an external effects processor, such as a nice sound effect, or delay, the feed should be "post-fader." In this way, any changes to the channel level will also affect the level going to the external processor. The processed output from the effects processor is usually returned to a spare channel, and you can carefully mix the original unprocessed channel (dry) and the processed channel (wet). Altering the original channel level increases both the wet and dry signals and keeps them at the same delicate ratio. (For example, the reverb remains at the same level relative to the original).
