CONNECTIONS
Connect your guitar to FM9
Input 1 (Instrument).
Connect Output 1 to the input
of your FRFR monitor.
Connect Output 2 to the
front-of house system.
If you are working with a sound
technician, be sure to tell them
that you are outputting a line
level input — NOT a microphone
level signal. They should use a
balanced line input without a
preamp.
Also tell them you are sending
a fully processed “mix-ready”
sound, and that they should
“zero” the channel with no EQ or
processing, at least to start.
FRONT-OF-HOUSE + PERSONAL FRFR MONITOR
Global Settings: “Out 2 Copy Out 1” Turned ON
Presets: Factory or Custom
This setup sends identical signals to the front-of-house PA and your personal FRFR monitor, with separate level
and global EQ controls for each. As in other Direct/FRFR setups, the FM9 creates a fully modeled end-to-end guitar
sound for the ultimate in flexibility—stompboxes, amps, cabs, post effects, and more.
Output 1 is used for your personal monitor. It can be connected with XLR or using a Humbuster™ cable if the monitor
does not have a balanced input. Set your personal levels using the front panel OUT 1 knob.
Output 2 is sent to front of house as an independent copy of Out 1 with its own level control from the
front panel OUT 2 knob. (PRO TIP: Set it and forget it... make the sound tech happy!) Instead of inserting
the Output 2 block manually in every preset, use this simple trick: navigate to SETUP: I/O: Audio and change
Output 2/Copy Output 1 to “ON”. Output 2 will now replicate the signal being at Output 1.
