FOH and MON
The XL8 Live Performance System can be used as a front of house (FOH) or a stage
monitor (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 FOH and 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.
