2.6 ELECTRIC GUITAR (OPTIONAL VOCALS)

Electric guitars cannot be directly plugged into the sound system using a DI, they must use a
traditional amplifier with a microphone, or a guitar processor.
Place one of the FX150 monitors on a mic stand (if setting up for vocals), a music stand or on the
stage and run an XLR cable from one of the monitor feeds under a nearby stage plate to INPUT 1 on
the monitor. Now hook up the power supply to the monitor, and plug it in to an outlet under the
stage plate.
If the guitarist is using a guitar processor, run one of the special ¼" to 1/8" cables from the guitar
processor into the AUX input on the FX150. Now run an XLR cable from the guitar processor into an
input channel under the stage plate – note the channel number and musician on the worksheet.
If the guitarist is using an amplifier, then you must use a microphone on the amplifier, and run an
XLR cable from the microphone into an input channel under the stage plate – note the channel
number and musician on the worksheet. There is no need to run any signal from the guitar into the
monitor if a traditional amp is being used, since the amplifier can be heard on stage.
OPTIONAL VOCALS: Run an XLR cable from the microphone to INPUT 2 on the FX150, and then run an
XLR cable from the THRU connection into an input channel under the stage plate – note the channel
number and musician on the worksheet.
