Output Section 113

MAIN OUTPUT

Use the MAIN OUTPUT to connect to a mixing desk in a recording studio, or to the front-of-house mixer in a live
situation. You have a choice of XLR (balanced) or quarter-inch TS-jacks (unbalanced).

Main Out -12 dB
Whenever the device (e.g. mixing desk or audio interface) connected to the MAIN OUTPUT XLR or TS jacks
indicates too much level coming from the PROFILER, or there is the need to set the Main Output Volume to less
than -12 dB, then activate the Main Output Pad to reduce the signal level of the Main Output by 12 dB. This
increases the range of the Main Output Volume control and preserves the signal-to-noise ratio of the Main Output.

MONITOR OUTPUT

The MONITOR OUTPUT is specifically designed to deliver a signal to your onstage monitors, assuming it is not
already being "abused" for other purposes as described in the chapter
Output Sources.
The most common purpose of the built-in power amp of the models PowerHead and PowerRack is to drive a guitar
cabinet, therefore it is cabled internally to the MONITOR OUTPUT. However, the MONITOR OUTPUT jack carries
the exact same signal in parallel, so you can still use the MONITOR OUTPUT as if the power amp wasn't there.
Even with PROFILER variants that don't feature the built-in amp, you can still connect the MONITOR OUTPUT to a
full range speaker, or a powered side-wedge on stage. Remember - if the speaker has no power amp of its own, you
will need to get one to drive it.
The MONITOR OUTPUT features an independent volume control, as well as a dedicated equalizer in the Output
Section. These parameters allow you to tailor the sound to your monitor cabinet, while the other outputs remain
unaffected.
The PROFILER Stage offers two dedicated MONITOR OUTPUT jacks, which can be used for both mono and stereo
monitoring. You just need to select an Output Source for the MONITOR OUTPUT that suits your needs.
