Monitor out issue

Hello all,

I’m having issues sending vocal signals out to my monitor.

I have a monitor plugged into Output 1

On my channel 9 with guitar, when I turn up the Out 1 fader, the signal comes out with the guitar no problem.

When I do the same thing for channel 1 (vocal mic), nothing comes out the monitor when I turn up the fader. I also tested plugging the mic into channel 10 to see if the XLR only jack was the issue and it appears to be behaving the same.

Is there anything I’m failing to check?

The following things come into my mind:

  • Your microphone may need phantom power (—> select in the config/input page)
  • Is the gain setup correctly (—> adjust in the config/input page and check the level meter
  • Check your Miucrophone cable

I’m afraid I’ve done all those. This is a dynamic mic, so no need for Phantom Power. The mic is successfully coming out of the main PA speakers. I did the autogain, so that is set up correctly, same with the cable.

Is the „send“ fader to Out 1 set up correctly (like for channel 1 in the attached picture). Make sure that Out 1 is selected on the right side …

Yes! That did the trick.

I thought by selecting that button, I would not be sending a signal to my main outputs speakers, but that appears not to be the case.

Thank you so much!
