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/"
phone jacks; to use these, simply insert an appropriate
1/" 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 and 8 ohms should be used. This
is the case for both the Phone Jack and Professional
Speaker Connectors.
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 ohms, two 16
ohm speakers a total loading of 8 ohms, etc).
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 ohms).
Bridge Mono:
When using bridge mono mode, either
the Bridge Mono (1/" 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.
