Hook-Up

The MONITOR1 can be connected in two primary ways:

1. Connecting to a Mixer:

Connect the MONITOR1 between a mixer and a pair of monitor speakers using XLR or balanced 1/4" TRS cables.

2. Connecting to an Audio Interface:

Connect the MONITOR1 between an audio interface and a pair of monitor speakers. This setup typically involves a laptop connected to the audio interface via USB, and the interface connected to the MONITOR1, which then connects to the speakers.

Diagram Description: The diagrams illustrate these connections, showing the MONITOR1 unit with its inputs and outputs connected to audio sources (mixer/audio interface) and outputs (studio monitors). Cables include XLR, balanced 1/4" TRS, and USB.

Controls
