Running a Guitar Speaker Cabinet from a Power Amplifier, "Monitor
Cab Off"
For the perfect on-stage setup, the PROFILER allows you to run a guitar cabinet through a power amp, and - at the
same time - send a complete studio sound (amplifier plus cabinet and microphone) from the MAIN OUTPUTS to the
front-of-house mixing desk. Since your guitar cabinet doesn't need to be picked up via microphone any more, it
becomes your personal monitor on stage. The MONITOR OUTPUT features an independent volume control, as well
as a dedicated Monitor Output Equalizer in the Output Section. These allow you to tailor the sound to your guitar
cabinet, while the sound on the other outputs remains unaffected.
For this setup, you need to bypass the Cabinet PROFILE for the MONITOR OUTPUT, to avoid running a guitar
cabinet simulation through a physical guitar cabinet. The soft button labeled "Monitor Cab Off" in the Output Section
will bypass the Cabinet PROFILE for the MONITOR OUTPUT, as well as for the built-in power amp of PowerHead
and PowerRack. The Cabinet PROFILE stays active for the other outputs, including the MAIN OUTPUTS. This is a
global setting and is therefore applied to all Rigs. However, the signal from the MONITOR OUTPUT is processed
according to the kind of PROFILE included in the Rig: for regular Studio PROFILEs, the CabDriver algorithm is
activated, whereas Merged PROFILEs feed the direct amp sound to the MONITOR OUTPUT and built-in power
amp.
