FOH and MON
The XL8 Live Performance System can be used as an FOH or a MON system. Also, by
sharing the four mic splitters, these two types of system can be used in tandem, as
shown in Figure 2 on page 14.
Figure 4 on page 21 shows in more detail the interconnections between each unit in a
typical XL8 Live Performance System front of house (FOH) and stage monitor (MON) set
up. In particular, it shows the how the FOH and MON sections are connected up; notice
that the mic splitters are shared between them.
